You've seen the race results, but which of these cars would you rather drive home? Let us know in the comments!

I don't know if I should think The EV6 is crazy impressive (that it kept up brilliantly with an M car), or the M2 is crazy impressive (to keep up with an AWD EV, with almost 100hp difference)!!! Great match-up!
-
For the EV6 Along with your GT button there is also a Maximum Power output mode that will allow you to use all 576HP. To access it car will need to be charged above 70% and while looking at the built in map swip down on your second screen until tou see the option to turn on Maximum Power output mode. Unfortunately the EV6 GT in this video was not at maximum performance. Trust me theres a huge difference you go from feeling like your going fast to feeling like you're in a rollercoaster.

Wow this M2 performance is impressive. Because this GT is sick. And stupid fast. Great race gents. But that last race mmmmmmm. 👀
-
Another great U drag video! Please do more ICE vs EV, this seems to get folks all riled up. Makes for interesting comments.

Damn low soc and still won nice ev6 gt

I had an 2020 X3M Comp that was my dream car but got totaled. I could not afford a new one at 90k so I got the EV6GT and although it is no BMW for 60K it is a great and fun vehicle. I love ICE and I love EV's why can't we all just get along?
-
Never in my life would I have thought that any stock KIA would beat a top of the line BMW M car. Crazy and exciting times we're living in!
-
Man oh man what a race, neck to neck till the end😮

Kia has realy come a long way, just 10-15 years ago people looked at Kia/Hyundai as your typical run-of-the-mill manufacturer that makes nothing but boring economical cars and were a laughing stock in most people’s eyes, rarely made any noteworthy performance cars and were just a budget brand. But ever since the Kia Stinger was released into the world in 2017 it completely changed the companies image, and the hiring of Albert Biermann from BMW’s M division has turned these two companies into a premium brand and have become a massive game changer in the automotive world, Kia’s GT cars and Hyundai’s N division have absolutely changed these two South Korean companies into a force that competes with the very best and quickest European cars.

Such excellent match making on this one!
-
EV6 would've won by more in the 1st race but driver was having a nice nap at the start. 😉😉 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
-
Once EV batteries energy density improves, ICE vehicles will lose their weight advantages from a performance aspect. Kind of sad, but technology must move on.
-
Best race yet in u-drag!
-
Slightly sharped chassis, slightly better brakes: Sounds like Ioniq 5N, can't wait to see that.
-
EV6 with no doubts
-
One heck of a race 🏁 😳
-
2022 G80 M3 6 MT - Lucky me just driving is fun without chasing times, but the U drag is very cool to watch!
-
I knew M2 is an amazing car right out the gate, but to keep up with an electric car with 576 hp is insanely amazing! Great job M2!

Very Interesting!
