EV Vs. V12

[jagu]

Just wanted to leave this here quickly, before the anti-ev folks fetch their pitch forks

Porsche for the win but the pullup in that Lambo is unmatched.

EV’s win the race but what car would you rather have?

Give me the V12!

 

[CoTtOnMoUf]

Gas powered didn't have a chance.

Foh.

 

[Coldchi]

10 secs in a 1/4 mile??? both of those drivers are shitty.
There are some CTS-V's out there that can do 8.5 second quarter miles....
FOH

When you drive a well made EV, you’ll wonder why anybody can actually wake up and drive to a dealership to buy a gas car. I’ll take the Porsche EV.

Time reveals everything. There was a time..

Lambos are not made to drag race. Put them on a track and it will be a different outcome.

It's the torque. The combustion process in a V12 engine that makes a car go can never compete with what is basically an on-off switch in an electric motor.

I'd still take that Lambo over that Porsche.

I can't argue against that but me personally, I'd still rather have a 6-speed manual Lamborghini.

Electric cars are just fast, I'd still rather have the Bugatti though

Of course I’d take the Bugatti. The lack of gear changes in a Taycan is awesome. It’s always on the right gear. I’ve seen Taycans take off and it’s always a beautiful thing to watch, even though I’m driving one.

Not only that. Lambos have high rev motors, the power doesn't kick in until the rpms are high. They are sluggish from a stop.

I only posted to show how EV’s beat everything, at least at the start.

EV’s are amazingly fast.

The exact moment CN EVs inevitably enter u.s. market...

I don't know why people are soo fascinated with comparing EV's with combustion powered vehicles. Two totally different vehicles. To me its just like racing a prop engine plane with a jet.

I mean they’re both cars and they both give an experience, and most are just comparing the experience.

And I’m still picking that 6 speed manual V12 and I don’t care that the EV’s faster!

Yeah I can see the point on the experience...but the racing of instant on electric motors with similar in horsepower gas combustion is crazy to me.. But, yes DEFINITELY taking the V12 over that EV..

Yeah I definitely agree!

Converted manual V12.
