An original E30 BMW M3 from the eighties isn’t normally what you’d think of as an electric car, but Croatian Mate Rimac fitted one with 440kW motor and went on to set an 11.85-second quarter mile record in Velika Gorica. The E-M3, which was built by Rimac’s company of the same name, was travelling at 75.94mph when it crossed the line and can cover 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds.
