It’s time for another epic petrol vs electric drag race!

We’ve got Mat lining up in his Audi RS7 Performance long-termer, and we have the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N alongside him! You may think this is a strange match-up, but these two contenders are actually more similar than you may expect. Let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Starting with the Audi, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, weighing in at 2,065kg. As new, it costs upwards of £133,000!

Then alongside it we have the IONIQ 5 N. It has two electric motors, and combined they put down 650hp and 770Nm of torque! Being electric it’s pretty heavy, tipping the scales at 2,235kg, and brand new it only costs £65,000.

So the IONIQ may have more power, but it’s up on weight and well down on torque! Will that prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
