Electrification has created a new horsepower war, where automakers continuously look to outdo one another with the quickest, most powerful EVs on the streets. The latest electric models deliver unbelievably quick acceleration and stunning spec sheets, but a group of German college students just shamed all of them. With a 0-100 km\/h (62 mph) time of 1.461 seconds, the students\u2019 electric car<\/a> delivers 1,750 horsepower per ton and peak acceleration forces that reach 2.5G.<\/p>\n

The 20-member GreenTeam from the University of Stuttgart recently set the record for the fastest-accelerating electric vehicle<\/a>, bringing the title back to Germany after teams from the Netherlands and Switzerland held the record<\/a> at various points over the past few years. Those teams\u2019 times were nothing to sneeze at, but the Germans\u2019 0-100 km\/h time bested the previous record by almost a tenth of a second.<\/p>\n
