EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed commentary on four performance vehicles tested at Lightning Lap: the Subaru BRZ tS, Subaru WRX tS, Hyundai Elantra N, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The reviewer highlights significant improvements in the BRZ tS and WRX tS due to upgraded braking systems, which allow for repeated, consistent laps and increased driver confidence on track. The BRZ tS is recommended for serious track day drivers, while the WRX tS is noted for its stability and ease of control, making it suitable for newer track enthusiasts despite its understeer. The Hyundai Elantra N is praised for its sharp handling, affordability, and impressive performance, matching older, higher-horsepower cars. The Ioniq 5 N, despite its immense power and improved handling over its predecessor (EV6 GT), is hampered by battery usage and brake issues that can lead to unexpected behavior, limiting its track day viability. Overall, the reviewer emphasizes the importance of reliable braking and balanced handling for track performance.
