The power output of electric motors is well known, but on the track braking and handling are no less important.
Not only does the EV thrash the M3, it's comfortable on normal roads and probably manages the same range between fill ups (~300 miles).
Interestingly the Top Gear test driver felt the lack of engine noise helped him hear what was happening with the tyres.
There's a couple of amateur Nurburgring vidz on youtube, but just how long the Model 3 can keep up attack speed I don't know.
Having upgraded the battery/drive cooling system compared to Model S/X I believe overheating brakes is the limiting factor (as it usually is with any roadcar).
