Sell your vehicle totally free with :

It's time for another epic gas vs electrical drag race!

We have actually got Mat lining up in his Performance long-termer, and we have the along with him! You might think this is a strange match-up, but these two competitors are in fact more comparable than you might expect. Let's take a better take a look at the statistics.

Beginning with the , it's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent out to all four wheels, weighing in at 2,065 kg. As brand-new, it costs upwards of ₤ 133,000!

Then alongside it we have the . It has two electrical motors, and integrated they put down 650hp and 770Nm of torque! Being electric it's quite heavy, tipping the scales at 2,235 kg, and brand name new it only costs ₤ 65,000.

So the IONIQ might have more power, however it's up on weight and well down on torque! Will that prove decisive? There's only one way to find out … LET'S RACE!

    When are you going to drag race the Volvo EX30 twin motor performance (the Carwow car of the year)??

      They already did a year ago, the Brabus Smart #1 is that car. Only the rear bench is for toddlers and the aero/range is worse! What you want is a badge, but a Volvo.

      @@Hustwick That is not the same as what he was asking. It is not the launch control but that 10 second boost button on the steering wheel. He may have used it but they never said if he used it off the line or later in the race, or if at all (he probably did, but would be nice to know exactly how and when). I have seen other acceleration tests where they found it is better to use it on the latter half of the 1/4 mile race as the car already has plenty of torque off the line. If he was using it at the beginning that might explain why the Audi started to catch up on the half mile road race.

    That braking difference was massive. I know the i5N has better brakes than the normal i5 and they are _definitely_ going to be smaller and less powerful than the RS7s, but even so that was a *MASSIVE* difference. I wonder if there is a braking setting tin the i5N that wasn’t selected that would’ve improved that. Or, if this was filmed on the same day as the other i5N races, if this was later in the day and the previous full bore stops faded the pads? I guess types of tires are also going to be pretty different between the two cars, as well as the size of the contact patch. I know for EV tires they are just never as sticky as ICE car tires since the EVs depend so much on having low rolling resistance to optimize their range.

      There is a different setting, which has 0.6g of regenerative breaking, which would add to braking performance. So that might have been inactive. But we don’t know for sure.

      I was wondering if the brake on the RS7 is a ceramic brake. The brake on the Ioniq 5N is better than the normal, but it’s still a cast iron brake. The key is the regenerative brake, which reaches 0.6G. The results won’t change much with the ceramic break on the Ioniq 5N, but I think the gap will be reduced a lot. Oh and… the regenerative brake on the Ioniq 5N can be adjusted in the settings menu. If I’m not mistaken, it can be set in 3 steps. and can even turn it off. I wonder how the regenerative brake setting went in this test.
