Lamborghini Asia-Pacific boss: Move over top speed and acceleration; handling and dynamics are the new performance benchmark

The proliferation of electric vehicles with phenomenal acceleration numbers has caused a shift in thinking amongst the world’s makers of super- and hypercars in how to measure the performance of their high-performance vehicles. With the Tesla Model S Plaid completing the dash to 100km/h from a standstill in just 2.1 seconds and even the cumbersome-looking Tesla Model X Plaid able to set a time of 2.6 seconds, acceleration is rapidly diminishing as a way to measure a car’s performance.
