BMW iX M60

Only 10 cars in this 600 car catalogue use an electric layout, and every one of those 10 sends its power to all four wheels. Within that already small group, the BMW iX M60 stands as the version that turns the format into a statement through sheer output. Its 619 bhp and 1,015 Nm are not interesting in isolation. They matter because they place this car in the top 30 percent for power across the entire collection, despite belonging to one of its rarest technical layouts.

That perspective changes how the numbers should be read. A 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds ranks 267th out of 600, quicker than 333 cars here, while a 250 km/h top speed sits further back at 414th. The balance is clear. This is not a machine chasing a single headline figure. Instead, it combines substantial power with acceleration that comfortably outruns most of the catalogue, even if outright maximum speed is not its defining statistic. The enormous torque figure reinforces the same impression. With 1,015 Nm available through an electric drivetrain and AWD, the emphasis falls on immediate, decisive performance rather than on stretching the last few kilometres per hour.

Context inside the wider collection matters just as much as the specification itself. Germany accounts for 197 of the 600 cars here, making it one of the catalogue's strongest national presences, while BMW contributes 48 entries of its own. Even against that broad representation, the iX M60 occupies unusual ground because so few cars share its engineering approach. Its used price of £75,000 places it 359th by cost, making it more expensive than 241 cars in the collection without pushing into its highest reaches. Measured another way, the £121 cost per bhp presents a different perspective on where its performance sits against its asking price.

That is why the opening comparison becomes more meaningful by the end. The rarity is not simply that only 10 cars here use an electric layout. It is that this particular one couples that uncommon configuration with power that comfortably reaches the catalogue's upper tier. In a dream garage, it would not exist as the electric alternative to something else. It would stand as the car that reminds you how many different paths there are to serious performance, even within a group of only 10.
