Looks like the VW diesel Blue Sport will spank it. The diesel has lots of low end torque which would give it much better acceleration + the diesel will weigh less bcus it doesnt use heavy batteries
Lots of carbon fiber would improve this but its not cheap
If VW doesn't build the Blue Sport I was considering building my own by building a diesel powered Porsche 914 or a high MPG C6 Vette
RE the Porsche 914 I was thinking of a VW 2.0 TDI from a Jetta, great thing about the turbo is it could be swapped for a larger turbo or be given more boost and the 914 is very light with an excellent chassis.
RE the Vette I'd look for a crashed Z06 for the aluminum frame and carbon fenders and add a carbon hood, roof, and other carbon bits from race cars. Then drop in a 400hp LS3 instead of the 505hp LS7. I'd also install a solar panel in back under the hatch to power the AC & accesories so they work in traffic with the engine off. That of course would require a device that kills engine when you stop and restarts it quickly. I think the weight could be 3000# or under. If the base C6 gets 30mpg hwy a Vette like this could probably see 35mpg pretty easily maybe more depending on how ones drives
