Why Electric Cars AREN'T FUN!

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-2409 Can an electric car be fun to drive on track? Well to find out, we've got our hands on one of the most exciting EVs around, the Hyundaio IONIQ 5 N, and we're going to compare it around Silverstone against a BMW M2 Competition! So let's see how the two compare. Starting with the Hyundai, it’s powered by two electric motors which combine to produce 650hp and 770Nm of torque. Due to the two motors, it has four-wheel drive, and it weighs in at 2,235kg. As new, an IONIQ 5 N costs around £65,000. Then we come to the BMW. It comes with the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the latest M3, but the output has been dialled down slightly, so it’ll produce 460hp and 550Nm of torque. This power is delivered to the rear wheels only, and it tips the scales at 1,725kg. If you’re looking to buy one new, it’ll set you back around £65,000. So do you think the EV sceptic will find any positives when taking the IONIQ on track? You'll need to stick with Mat and Sam to see for yourself!
