The BMW i3 22 kWh 170 reaches 60 mph in 6.39 s (100 km/h in 6.86 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.32 s, tripping the lights at 84.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s and the eighth mile in 9.60 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

The 2013 BMW i3 22 kWh 170 is a rear-drive electric car of 1,195 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 140 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 84.0 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,728th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 524th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 84.0 mph at the lights is only the 7,837th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
