V12 VS V8: BENTLEY VS MAYBACH VS ROLLS-ROYCE VS HYUNDAI EV DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This drag race pits luxury V12 and V8 engines against the electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The video clearly demonstrates the performance capabilities of each vehicle across standing starts, roll races, and timed runs. While the V12s (Rolls-Royce Dawn and Mercedes-Maybach S680) initially showed promise, particularly in roll races, they were ultimately outmatched by the electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The Bentley Flying Spur V8 also put up a respectable fight, especially from a standing start, but couldn't compete with the Ioniq 5 N's outright acceleration. The reviewer highlights the Ioniq 5 N's superior performance, noting its ability to 'demolish' the luxury contenders. The video concludes that while V8s can beat V12s from a standing start and V12s can beat V8s in a roll race, no internal combustion engine can compete with the electric performance offered by the Ioniq 5 N.
