How long does it take for an electric car to get 60 mph? (Comparison of various cars)

I have some literature data for EVs:

kg W Nm sec-to-60mph
Chevrolet Volt 1715 63 130 9,0
smart fortwo electric drive 900 55 130 12,9
Mitsubishi i-MiEV 1185 47 180 13,5
Citroen zEro 1185 49 180 13,5
Peugeot iOn 1185 47 180 13,5
Toyota Prius Plug-in 1500 60 207 10,7
Renault Zoe 1392 65 220 8,0
Renault Fluence Z.E. 1543 70 226 9,9
Nissan leaf 1595 80 280 11,9
Toyota RAV4 EV (US only) 1560 115 296 8,0
Tesla S 1999, 225, 430, 120, 5.9
Tesla S Perf 2108, 270, 440, 125, 5.4
Tesla S Perf Plus 2108, 310, 600, 130, 4.2

These are for ICE vehicles:
Fiat Stilo: 1488 kg, 255 Nm, 11.2 s
BMW M3: 1885 kg, 400 Nm, 5.3 s
Citroen C3: 1126 kg, 133 Nm, 14.5 s

I'm looking for formulas which allow me to calculate 0-60 mph time given mass, torque and power.
All formulas I found give impossible results like >60 seconds!

Any help?
