applied sciences students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have broken the 0-60 acceleration world record for electric vehicles (it only weighs 310 pounds.... it's not really competing with the Rimac as a car)

the students didn't build a car, so, it's not exactly competing with the electric super cars that do everything, like ac, stereo, windshield wipers, airbags, seating for 4, etc... it's not street legal, can't drive on roads, doesn't have a driving ability that can accomplish range... it's simply a one trick pony. Zero to sixty, and it did that in 40 feet. 

but, they had a single focus, and broke the record others compete for really hard. 

The team did so with a scratch-built EV, designing everything from its chassis to its circuit boards, and bested the existing record—set last year by students in Stuttgart, Germany—by more than a third.

The students developed the 309-pound car by themselves, including the printed circuit boards, chassis, and battery. They used a lightweight carbon and aluminum honeycomb structure and used in-house developed four-wheel hub motors with an output of 326 horsepower, giving the mythen a power-to-weight ratio of over one horsepower per pound of weight.
