Thanks again Misha for the lap! A great experiance once again! Especially since i"ve driven the ring myself, the speeddifferance is enourmous and good to experiance. I also noticed i was a bit hyped, sorry for all the talking😂
Thanks Niels for letting Misha drive your car :D Also own one in the same colour .. I use that 99% of the time to drive my kid to nursery or to get groceries .. I now feel sad that I can't find any racetrack that allows EVs in Ireland (even in england/wales apparently)... It's becoming a real problem. I guess as EVs are becoming super common, they need to change that rule ...
The beard is on point. Nothing screams “I’m an interesting younger 50 year old,” than a good beard! Crazy car! Pretty cool. The lack of noise would be interesting to say the least.
I like that the car dosen't have a loud weird sound pumped in. One of the last ev's sounded like it had a bad wheel bearing noise being pumped in as an "engine" sound.
Agreed. We should be appreciating what EVs can do that ICEs cant rather than trying to poorly imitate them. Similarly I dont like those fake gearshifts a lot of manufacturers are implementing
Nice drive and passionate owner. Love that he is using his car on the track and enjoying it. Scary scene seeing you almost standing so hard you brakes just after the adenau bridge.
Great video! Funny, I am taking a Kia Ev 6 GT out for a testdrive tomorrow here from our local KIA dealer. Interesting if it gets two full laps done on the Nordschleife.
According to L'argus, (translation, emphasis mine) "A remarkable thermal management of its battery, which allows it to run THREE laps of the North Loop without losing much of its initial power. No other electric car has ever achieved such a feat, nor has it been able to keep its braking efficiency without resorting to an expensive carbon-ceramic option."
Pretty impressive vehicle coming from KIA. They’ve came a long way in the last 20 years. I prefer a ICE vehicle tho,so I’d get a Stinger GT2/3 personally.
@@mgcharoudin Thanks Misha. My initial thought was: "Wow this makes this corner more dangerous as it already is (liftoff oversteer), but when I think about it, it´s compensated by not getting unsettled by smother tarmac and therfor better control into the turn. And in the end, we all avoid the undriveable curbs and rumble over those low enough. So it´s just one more u should not hit or in other words: If this high curb is "wrong" then all other high curbs are also "wrong"
Same here. I never even thought owning a Kia one day. Guess what?? I did the move last week and it's by far the best car I have ever own. Which includes owning previously Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar and BMW.
@@yohannb._8196me too! Bought a GT this week and it’s a blast. Previously owned a Taycan and this is faster, at a third of the price of a comparable Taycan 4S and more special on the road as there are so few of them around. And the buckets are amazing🤩
Although I miss the sound of a petrol engine I have to admit that some of these EV cars look pretty fun to drive on the Nordschlife. Being from the US and knowing the current state of our electric charging infrastructure I can’t see myself getting an electric vehicle and taking it across country until things improve. But that is a different story for another day. Would not mind driving one short term for a day on a race track given the right circumstances if the opportunity presented itself.
How often are you going across country? I have an EV and do 99.9% of my charging at home. If I need to do a road trip I rent something way in advance. That small inconvenience is more than worth the much better driving experience and not having to go to a gas station IMO. If you can charge at home EVs are def worth looking into, I know so many enthusiasts who absolutely love them.
@@future62 For me, and yes I realize that I am an exception here, I travel often across country. For me, it makes sense to get a hybrid vehicle for traveling across country despite it being a bit expensive (depending on what you are looking at). And, I am speaking out of my own personal experiences with EVs in general and from what I have read online. That said, I will say this. I can see the benefit of charging at home and driving locally on battery power without having a need to otherwise consume fuel in a conventional vehicle. I was just saying for those that travel across country often and do not want to fly IMO EVs are not there yet to reliably take you accross country without having to stop and recharge multiple times, assuming the infrastructure is there to do so.
@@EstorilE36M345 I have to agree with you on that one. But, to each their own as each person is different. Personally, thinking it through, I can't see myself taking cross country trips in a large SUV but then again it is only me and one other person. A mid-size sedan with hybrid capabilities for me is more realistic. But yes I can see the daily/track thing for an EV being a good thing too.
EV6 GT tbh is a great value.. if u can get it used with lower mileage. Even new, its a great deal.. I will try to get the refreshed EV6 GT with bigger battery that will come out in 2025
Start with 2.2bar and cold tires, do a lap and release air until you're back at 2.2. Repeat if pressure goes above 2.2 again. In my experience pressures increase by about 0.3-0.4 bar on track, but it will vary from car to car and tyre to tyre, so its best to just see what your car and tires do. Driving with slightly high pressures on track is in no way dangerous :)
Les felicito por los videos, son excelentes. Pero seria conveniente que a más de la velocidad de los carros pongan el tiempo que hacen en cada vuelta del circuito de Nurburgring.
Low 9's seems to be the average 100-200 for the EV6 GT according to various youtube videos. But power to weight ratio between this and a Volvo 850 at 375 hp is roughly the same, so it's not all that strange?
There was a pause due to caution at 4:18, but I believe both the Round 1 lap (/watch?v=PPG0_e6-ngY) and the L'argus hot lap (/watch?v=AGmT4vsAKGM) were well under 8 minutes!
I'm still wondering why there's still no official laptime at the ring for the EV6 GT. Lot of people seem to refer to the 7.45 ish time set by L'argus, but that's a BTG lap (with quite a bit of traffic I might add). Would be interesting to see a propper lap on an empty circuit with a pro driver 🤩
no, ion5n has the new and bigger battery, difference suspension, new infotainment and exclusive N software management. 2025 EV6 GT will try to match the specs but Kia is taking a different approach than Hyundai's in terms "sound engine", Kia will not do that fake sound or fake shift which is fine.
In the nurburgring, I saw that many electric cars heat up towards the last parts and reduce the power. Did something like this happen in this car or was it able to give full power all the time during the tour?
You display a "mirror" view. This is great. But as the camera is pointed to the back of the car, the mirror view is inverted vs a real mirror view. Maybe you should "mirror" it in post-prod? Great videos anyway!
As the owner of a black car, I can tell you that black cars are very hard to keep looking clean. Even a tiny bit of dust stands out like dogs balls on a black car.
@@jamocerwin5841 l'argus was quite impressed but said they would love to see Kia make a real sportscar/sportscoupe based on this. Lower, lighter and more sporty. But the car is definitely fun..check out their drifting on the Nürburgring.
@@GDM22 I haven't a clue what you're getting at! My comment was about the car, it and all electric cars are soulless, a lot of them are amazingly fast but that is it! An electric car will never feel or sound like a 7 series BMW or Golf R32 or Passat R36 and others that I have owned and driven round the ring and Hockenheim or Spa in Belgium and a few circuits in the UK. Have you driven round the Ring?
@@paradad999 A begrudging compliment followed by a putdown. Being fast is able to be objectively measured, saying something is souless is just your opinion and can't be measured as it will vary based on peoples preferences. I am sure people who watched this video can see the absence of engine noise, vibrations, gear changes etc and can form their own opinion whether that is something they may or may not appreciate.
Quick but incredibly numb and rather bland. Hopefully someone figures out how to make sound of EVs match their performance. Electronically generated fake noise doesn't quite cut it.
That's the trouble, the motors make very little sound so if you add fake noises it just seems a bit pointless. (Other than some noise at low speeds to warn pedestrians if course)

This is one FAST lap!. Looks like the brakes had it a bit rough a couple of times but no drama. Very enjoyable. Thank You.

Very nice . You improve alot
Would be interesting to know, wether the curb was planned this high, or it came out as high as it is now by accident
The reason the construction workers gave was "the cars will be much faster now and need to be slowed down". I'll keep my comments to myself.

I think the idea of having an EV for daily/track use and then having a giant “tow rig” SUV for family trips sounds just about perfect…

This is the true N-Line to the Ioniq 5 N.
That was fast and relaxing.

That was amazing!
How many kilowatt hours did it consume on a lap?
Floating along with no noise is not my thing
Sinterklaas!

Question on tire pressure. My I20N “prescribes” around 2.2 bars.
How much do you usually drop it before going on track?
Start with 2.2bar and cold tires, do a lap and release air until you're back at 2.2. Repeat if pressure goes above 2.2 again. In my experience pressures increase by about 0.3-0.4 bar on track, but it will vary from car to car and tyre to tyre, so its best to just see what your car and tires do.

The manual should state tires pressures for track usage. Atleast the i30N does so.

What progress has been made in the Fenwicks in such a short time, however it is still not very exciting
Was this not a timed lap or did I miss the time? Thanks!
Never is
No timing on tourist days, only race days.
100-200 in about 10 seconds is extremely slow? Same time for volvo 850 375hp.
Low 9's seems to be the average 100-200 for the EV6 GT according to various youtube videos. But power to weight ratio between this and a Volvo 850 at 375 hp is roughly the same, so it's not all that strange?
