Probably the first EV designed with petrolheads in mind.

This is not some scripted test, they just take the cars on a few laps Touristenfahrten and see what happens. (and anything can happen during TF )

Currently I think the best EV alternative for say.. an Audi RS3 or BMW M2.
Also pricewise I think (USA prices)
Where I live these cars are even way more expensive due to the CO2 tax.

Wow...from a performance perspective with just a couple of laps, pretty impressive.

"Probably the first EV designed with petrolheads in mind."

I'd classify this as an oxymoron. Not a flame. But a flame on Hyundai. Let it be EV and stand on it's own. Or make a great piston car. I don't see where the ICE emulation really entices a petrolhead to buy this for (agressive) street driving.

It's range limited as a track car because of the recharging.

You are exactly right. I’m not buying one any time soon but I really do appreciate this.

Thanks for posting Guido. Nice to see you posting things outside F1 in which I always enjoy your content very much.

I think it is so far ahead of any other EV from a passion perspective it’s on another planet.

Hyundai / Kia are also very well made cars. My wife has her Sportage GT. Now 160000km. Not a single fault in that time. No rattles. Interior just as good as an X3. Handling about the same too.

I love that they are even trying to do this stuff with an EV.

Incarnation did a review. Williamson hates EVs and he liked it too.

You know this is the sort of thing BMW would be doing if it were still run by petrol heads. But it isn’t. I don’t know if Albert (former M boss) is still with Hyundai Kia but if not, his spirit lives on.
