https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/n...gt-gets-577bhp

The dual-motor EV6 GT sends 577bhp and 546lb ft to both axles, and is expected to get from 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 162mph, making it not only the quickest Kia yet built, but also more powerful and faster than the Porsche Taycan 4S.

Now that I do like - remember that Kia and Hyundai are the same firm so it looks like they have their EV tech progressing nicely and will be a force to be reckoned with......

MattOz · 03-30-2021, 03:57 AM

That looks purposeful. Like it.

Blacktemplar · 03-30-2021, 04:09 AM

Not entirely sure about the rear 3/4 angled light strip, but overall that's a rather handsome car - and with that kind of performance per £££ it could well be on the list after the M40i goes....

Nice spot JustChris possible replacement when the X3M term is over!

SkyJawa · 03-30-2021, 06:53 AM

looks good that

Grant_7 · 03-30-2021, 06:53 AM

Yep, like that!

JustChris · 03-30-2021, 06:57 AM

I have to say, I think they literally just killed the iPACE. Looks a similar profile and specs are better for less perhaps, lets see.

I think Rimac are involved with Kia/Hyundai. Along with Porsche/VAG

Be interesting to see how that develops

Looks great from the front, but the rear light design bar and lack of rear lights is a fail to me. Trying to hard there I think.

very nice and seems to have better road presence than the taycan

Power is one thing... handling is another (look at me old muscle cars...)
Porsche has the handling and braking covered.

And again, not like you bring your EV to the track yet.

Still, the EV allows for a lot of power in any package, and a lot of flexibility for the design as you don't need a lot of cooling, vents ans such.

Lovely that, potential to be a model 3 killer looking at that price range.
