Drag race: Ferrari F355 vs Kia EV6

Can a modern electric family car beat a Ferrari in a drag race? Today you can find out.

For this drag race, Mat is behind the wheel of the Kia EV6. It has dual electric motors which put out 325hp and 605Nm of torque. This is fed to all four wheels, and there’s no gearbox to worry about. Being rammed full of batteries, the Kia weighs a hefty 2,090kg.

Taking on the Kia, we have a Ferrari F355. It has a 3.5-litre naturally-aspirated V8 with 380hp and 360Nm of torque. This is paired to a six-speed gated manual gearbox, and sends power to the rear wheels only. It’s a lot lighter than the Kia, coming in at 1,350kg.

It may seem like an odd paring, but does this Kia really have what it takes to beat a supercar of the 1990’s? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.
