Leawood911:

Acceleration is a powerful drug. Keep in mind that electric motors kind of rule this domain (for which some cars have been accused of being a one trick pony). There are also plenty of cheaper cars on drag strips which can do this. Also I would hope a Porsche can turn corners exceptionally well. That is all about tires and suspension while the low center of gravity hands you a bonus.  For mere mortals who are not able or even allowed to buy the cars you mention there are, thankfully, fun alternatives.  For the money the Porsche does very well. Time will tell if it remains as competitive in the EV sports car world as in the ice sports car world. No reason why they should not. 
I do think that these are the numbers Porsche and the public expected else it would have gone not so well. Consumption is still a bit high. 

 

Yet no one cares still. The range is good enough. No one complaints their 911 goes less far than a Corolla.
