    The 2022 Hummer EV Edition 1 Pickup (~$140,000 CAD, $110,295 USD) and the 2022 Rivian R1T ($90,000 CAD starting, $67,500 USD starting) are lined up for a drag race at Willow Springs International Raceway. The over 9000 lb Hummer EV has a whopping 1000 hp and 11,500 lb ft of torque (while being a bit cheeky). The much lighter Rivian has a strong 835 hp and 908 lb ft of torque, but has the same claimed 0-60 time as the Hummer. 3 seconds flat. What will happen? Things don’t always go as expected when you line up for a drag race! SUBSCRIBE!
    Huge thank you to Andrew, Ronnie and the team at Tustin Buick GMC for letting us feature their Hummer. They are a fantastic bunch, check them out here! www.tustingmc.com/

    Just so you know, the speed limiters on these trucks (and a lot of modern cars) are there to prevent you from exceeding the tires’ maximum speed rating. It’s not a public safety nanny. Most light truck tires have a Q, S, or T speed rating corresponding to a 100mph, 106mph, or 112mph max speed. Similarly, non-performance passenger car tires are typically H rated, corresponding to a 130mph top speed. It’s really not until you get into cars with W (168mph) or higher rated tires that you start seeing examples of electronic limiters for reasons other than tire speed ratings.

      @AndrewVanTil 2 роки тому +83

      FWIW, on some electric cars the motor type is what causes the limit. For e.g. I have a Mach-E GT PE, which is limited to 124 MPH, but the tires it comes with are Y (186MPH) rated. Apparently the limit is a function of the single phase synchronous electric motor design that it uses. Had For opted for a asynchronous motor, like what the S Plaid has, it wouldn't have that limit.

      Its honestly getting scarier by the second with the weight of EVs, they're near if not heavier than a Silverado/Ram 3500 or closer to a semi, compacted into a small car. What used to be a fender bender, now is more of a potential deadly situation, these cars have the mass to ram the rear all the way to your front driver seat, the structure of cars haven't exponentially stiffen like the weight

    Forget the quarter mile. I would love to see an episode of these machines race across the continental U.S. A la cannon ball race style (without violating speed and traffic laws). They should be prohibited from bringing a charging station crew and arranging charging station pit stops ahead of time. Run what you brung and charge at any available charging stations that would be available to any average Joe. I think that an event like this would be a great idea for promoting the growth of the electric vehicle market.

    Just watched the Hagerty drag race with Rivian vs TRX vs Raptor, and they mentioned GM was missing from the lineup.
    So this is fun because I can kind of place where the Hummer would probably fall in that lineup (spoiler, the Hummer would probably place between the Rivian and the TRX in a solid second place. Though the speed limiter might give the TRX a fighting chance, especially in a rolling race or in the half mile).
