Video Summary
The KIA EV6 GT has a motor on each axle, delivering 641 horsepower in launch control, more than the previous EV6 GT, with 770 Nm of torque. The KIA costs about 60,000 pounds. It is quite heavy due to the batteries, weighing 2.2 tons.The Ferrari Purosangue has a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that is the same engine that’s in the 812 Superfast, but slightly detuned with 725 horsepower and 716 Nm of torque. It has two gearboxes, one on the front axle, one on the rear. Front axle works up to 95 mph then it becomes rear-wheel drive. It also has a really cool trick suspension. The reviewer says that Ferrari flywheel is so small it revs so quickly.
During a drag race, the KIA EV6 GT completed the standing quarter mile in 11.4 seconds and the Ferrari in 11.5 seconds. The EV6 in manual mode without launch control had a quarter mile time of 12.1 seconds.
In a rolling race, the Ferrari completed the half-mile distance ahead. The Ferrari has a ceramic brake setup that doesn’t get over heated and is smaller and lighter.
Brake Testing shows similar results, with the Ferrari stopping shorter than the Kia. Ultimately, however, the reviewer states that the EV6 GT is cheaper and faster in a drag race.
