Which luxury performance car reigns supreme: Kia’s electrifying GT or BMW’s potent M2? Which has extra efficiency? What about dealing with? Kia’s high-performance EV6 GT takes on BMW’s M2 powerhouse in an electrifying quarter-mile showdown, as captured in our latest thrilling test drive.

With instant torque, driving an electric vehicle can genuinely feel like being behind the wheel of a high-performance sports car. Electric vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla, Lucid, and Rimac have demonstrated that EVs are capable of rivaling the performance of most gasoline-powered cars.

Now enters Kia, a brand synonymous with affordable yet reliable vehicles. Kia introduced the 576-horsepower EV6 GT in August, setting a new benchmark as the company’s fastest production vehicle to date.

The South Korean automaker proudly proclaims the EV6 GT a trailblazing high-performance flagship within the burgeoning crossover segment. Capable of delivering a commanding 576 horsepower and an astonishing 546 lb-ft of instantaneous torque, this electrified marvel can catapult from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds.

Here is the rewritten text:

In an effort to demonstrate its capabilities, Kia positioned the EV6 alongside a Ferrari Roma and a Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder RWD. The car outpaced all others, accelerating at an extraordinary rate.

The Kia EV6 is propelled by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that leverages the advanced electric motor and battery technology of Hyundai’s E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform). The car features a robust 77.4 kWh battery pack that propels its 160 kW front electric motor and 270 kW rear motor, delivering exceptional power and performance. While the Kia EV6 is undoubtedly rapid, it’s also surprisingly affordable, with a starting price of around $62,000, making it an attractive option for those seeking a luxurious ride without the hefty premium tag.

As the Kia EV6 GT hurtles forward with its sleek design and potent electric powertrain, a question arises: can it outmuscle the iconic 2023 BMW M2? Despite being exceptionally efficient, the Kia also carries an additional weight of nearly 1,000 pounds.

545 lb-ft torque
3.4 s 4,793 lbs $62,865
