According to this page, its not far off from the overall record, 2 seconds:

Something else to note, the top record is an electric car. So I think its safe to say that combustion engine powered vehicles are on the way out in terms of overall performance, much like the manual transmission.

Oh absolutely. Have you seen the Lotus Evora with a transplanted Tesla drivetrain in it? Thing is a freaking beast. I can only imagine a purpose built electric race car.

I have not. But my next car purchase will be an electrified daily and I've been working on a new site that is dedicated to electric things. Cars, solar, batteries, passenger drones etc. Neat stuff.
