Carbon McLaren Elva vs KTM X-Bow with Nitrous drag race! Winner takes on Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

This is the craziest drag race we have done. A windowless McLaren Elva (just 149 units globally!) takes on a KTM X-Bow with NOS and a Golf R engine. The winner then takes on the affordable supercar - the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N to see which is fastest!

That 5N has no right even being there but yet it is and yet it win again, I am beginning to think this car is the bargain of the century

Today's Hyundai and KIA feel like Japanese car companies from the 80s. At the time, Japanese brands had a cheap image, but they had created legendary supercars such as GT-R, Supra, and NSX by the 90s. So they were able to have fanbase comparable to European brands. I hope that these Korean brands will make supercars like the Japanese brands (with the N Vision 74 design) and change their brand image by the 2030s and have enthusiastic fanbase.

Hyundai N Series is Supercar killer ., that's the fact so far ., it's happen in Nürburgring 24 Hours race.,

Yeah, this Hyundai Ioniq 5N is the real deal...ridiculous performance. Keep up the amazing vids

[sokolwrc]

More drag race with ionic 5 n….please….❤

[mr.pritchard]

Takes a million dollar hyper car to beat an Ioniq 5 N. 💪😎

[WarriorPleb]

bro donating his cars is cracked, what a g

[bootneck]

The guy cannot drive that X Bow 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[hellothere]

That's basically motorcycle with 4 wheels. No idea how you boys manage to drive that without a full face helmet.

[alexlee]

Wow Ioniq 5N is just superb at that price point.

[jedbriimc]

I literally started squawking with laughter when i saw how much leo's face was jiggling when he was overtaking the Ionic 5 😂😂😂

This was awesome.

[svjHCR]

I don't know how you guys put your hands on such rare cars, but never stop❤

[DMTHOTH]

so even for different aerodynamic designe, ioniq 5n and kick some asses. It would be really interesting when they manufacture ioniq 6n.

[StuartKarlson-qnpj]

Who would have thought an ev would even attempt this only 5 years ago, sorry rev heads and I’m one of them but it’s lights out for ice cars.

[GentlemanNosh]

It goes to show how silly you need to get to beat a fast electric car. The Elva is $2.7 million or so in Australia, whilst the Ionic is about $120k all optioned up. The only thing that ICE cars have going for them anymore is noise.

Ultimately, Loud = Slow.

[ericn]

Can't imagine why anyone would want an Elva. A hyper car with no windshield. Brilliant!

[jackh]

Your face without the windscreen at 200kmph reminds me of sky diving lmao. Great vid!

[korvinpillay]

Paul's face at 4:15 is hilarious!!!😂😂 Love it

[suodrazah]

Sick!

Get some entry level EVs in a race (with the N maybe)! MG ZS EV Gen 1 and 2, BYD Atto 3, etc. I'd lend my MG but I'm in the wrong state.

2:30 Paul is literally Jeremy Clarkson
