Have you ever seen the Kia EV6 pitted against the legendary Ferrari car? You need to see it on Carwow YouTube channel for more details.
In the video that was shown, Mat Watson showed how the Kia EV6 was pitted against a drag race with a Ferrari F355 supercar from the 90s.
The Kia EV6 used is the LR AWD version with 325 hp and 605 Nm of torque, and weighs 2,090 kg (4,607 lbs). Meanwhile the Ferrari F355 comes with 380 hp, 360 Nm of torque, and weighs only 1,350 kg (2,976 lbs). These two have one thing in common, they are both red! Oh yes the Ferrari F355 has a manual gearbox and a naturally aspirated 3.5l V8 engine.
When viewed from paper, the Ferrari F355 of course easily beat the Kia EV6 in the drag race. But – spoiler warning! – actually not as easy as imagined. The Ferrari F355 lost its first race, most likely due to a gearshift.
In the second and third races, the Ferrari F355 won over the Kia EV6. Interestingly, the Kia is closer behind than you might think, despite being heavier and with less horsepower than the Ferrari F355.
The upcoming Kia EV6 GT is sure to beat the Ferrari F355 in such a race, with 585 hp and 740 Nm of torque.
