power: torque X rpm, now can you tell me how is responsible for acceleration and velocities?!

The Mini had 220Nm. An absolute hoot to drive.

Torque alone means nothing.

Win. Provided the battery packs last.

electric engines have tons of torque: is any kind of electric car really fun to drive? no
beside fuel economy (and different prices), who is going to buy a Tesla and not an Exige/Elise? no one.

torque doesn't win. lightweight owns everything.

if torque wins, buy this, the yellow one of course
