I am surprised it does not snap a drive train or spin the tires off the rims at that torque.
I would love to see what a powerful engine could do if the acceleration was made ‘non-slip’ the way brakes are.
Is that implemented in any drives?
Could put together a 4x4 Tesla to bring that 0-60 number down.
I'll try to dig up the pic I took of the poster describing it. I'm not sure what the drive train was composed of because I was in too much "shock and awe" of the numbers. It seemed like it was direct drive but it must have had something to step up the ratio. I'm pretty sure the torque was over 1,800 ft. lbs. I was just shaking my head at the audacity of someone to make such a contraption.
Wait, what am I thinking - web search.... and.... viola

there's a video here that shows it dragging a Tesla. The Tesla couldn't be fit into the video frame:
