Can I beat a V12 Ferrari in a Kia?

Change your vehicle with Carwow:

How's this for a drag race line-up you didn't anticipate to see today!

We've got our hands on a Ferrari Purosangue, and it's taking on … A Kia ?!

However this is no common Kia – it's the new Kia EV6 GT! The concern is, does it have a possibility versus a Ferrari? Let's check out the statistics …

Beginning with the Kia, it's powered by 2 electrical motors, and they combine to produce 641hp & 770Nm. It weighs in at 2,200 kg, and it's a lot less expensive than the Ferrari, costing just ₤ 60,000.

Up next is the Purosangue. It's powered by a 6.5-litre NA V12, and this develops 725hp and 716Nm. This power is sent to all 4 wheels through an 8-speed car, and it's a little lighter than the Kia, at 2,150 kg. As new, it costs around ₤ 313,000!

So what do you believe – can a Kia really beat a Ferrari ?! There's only one method to discover for sure … LET'S RACE!

Mat's choice on among these cars and trucks:

      The performance of a car isn’t measured on 1/4 mile acceleration only. And this is KIA’s best performing car, while the Ferrari is just a luxury car, not a performance car; it takes the same role as a Rolls-Royce for example.

      They’re already blindedfolded decades ago to the fact that high speed rail/trains using electric motors instead of being powered with a thousand-cylinder superengine.

      They just caught offguard recently when someone decided to downsize it and replace the steel wheels with rubber.

      Not really yall acting like it’s hard to make a fast EV in a straight line. Every manufacturer has already proven u can put 1000s of HP in one. Now a Kia gas engine or even hybrid vs a Ferrari would be impressive. That said the Ferrari still won 2/3 carwow test.
