It's pretty impressive.

In terms of a daily driver, I think the fun comes from the acceleration, and thus the torque a car can produce.

My daily driver is a Mazda 3 / Mazda Axela, which comes with 200 Newtonmeter torque at 6400 rpm. It's ok, it's fun, but yeah.

So the other day I drove a 2013 Nissan Leaf (BEV), which gives you ~250 Nm torque right at the beginning. This was so much fun to drive.

So for me, a car doesn't need to have a ridiculosly max speed - I need max torque from the start.
