Electric motors have features of supply their maximum torque from the lowest rpm. This allows you to offer electric cars really instant accelerations. Thus, even some basic-looking models can make fun of some more powerful petrol or diesel cars at a red light.

But what happens when several electric cars compete? That’s what Carwow wanted to test by combining several family electric models more or less the same power and torque. And attracting them to real drag racing on a closed track.

The first opponent is the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX. The most powerful version of the German SUV has two electric motors that combine to produce 300 hp and 470 Nm of torque. As you’d expect, it’s quite heavy, weighing in at 2,224kg and priced around $45,000.

The most powerful

Then we have the Ford Mustang Mach-E. It is also equipped with two electric motors capable of develops 350 hp and 580 Nm. It’s slightly lighter than the VW, weighing 2198kg, but it’s also more expensive: around €65,000

Finally we have the Kia EV6. It’s the lightest car here at 2,090kg and feels more like a sedan. At around €52,000, its price in the all-wheel drive version puts it close to the VW ID.4. In terms of power, it also comes with two electric motors with a capacity of 325 hp. and 605 Nm.

An unexpected result?

On paper, therefore, it appears to be a very close match Ford Mustang Mach-E which has the highest power and Kia EV6 which has an advantage in terms of torque. Will one of the two win, or will Volkswagen ID.4 Will he be able to create a surprise? Here’s what we offer to learn in this video:
