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 2021 Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor is a front-drive electric car of 2,018 kg with 228 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 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 93.7 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,078th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 4 Polestars here. Its 93.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 1 of 1 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.
