0-60 in 3.1 and the quarter mile in 11.6 @ 115. Not too shabby; although the trap is not exactly what you would hope for from something with a mid-11 ET.

All the people I know still cite 0-60 time so that 3.1s will get a lot of publicity. 115 trap is no slouch (it's C5 Z06 fast, which is quite fast) but still isn't what you'd expect from a mid-11 or 3.1s 0-60. But you'd have to be pretty jaded to be like "people are going to think this is in the 99th percentile of car performance when it's really in the 97th."

Another article going deeper into the acceleration of the P85D:

Does 0-24 in 0.83 seconds qualify as snap?

It's a little bit ironic that to get the performance characteristics that I like, I have to go to an electric car.
