Porsche Taycan GTS v BMW iX M60 v Chinese Teslas: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an almighty Germany vs. China electric car showdown!

We’ve got our hands on the Human Horizons HiPhi Z & HiPhi X, and they’re going up against the Porsche Taycan GTS and BMW iX M60! The question is, which is the quickest? Well, let’s take a look at the stats.

Starting with the HiPhi Z, it comes equipped with two electric motors that can put down 672hp and 820Nm. All that power means it’s pretty heavy, mind, coming in at 2,539kg, and it costs around £90,000.

Alongside it we have the Porsche Taycan GTS. It also comes with two electric motors, but it’s down on power compared to the HiPhi, able to produce 598hp and 850Nm of torque. It’s the lightest car here, at 2,310kg, but it’s also more expensive than the HiPhi Z, coming in at around £111,000.

Then we get to the SUVs. Starting with the HiPhi X, it comes with two electric motors that can produce 598hp and 820Nm. It tips the scales at 2,580kg, and it has a price tag of around £93,000.

Then finally we come to the BMW iX M60. It’s the heaviest car here (just!) at 2,584kg, but it also has a boatload of power, with its two electric motors producing 619hp and 1,100Nm! But not only is it the heaviest, it’s also the most expensive, costing around £123,000!

So will China come out on top? Or will it be a clean sweep for the Germans? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I’m not sure if everyone noticed but carwow has been slowly transitioning to having cameras in every car and I appreciate that. Not too long ago we only had cameras only for special guests like Yianni, whereas Nick, Sam, Rory and others, could only be heard on the radio.

10:03 it's lovely to hear Matt talk about his mother. Just goes to show how much she means to him in these drag races 🥰

The BMW has the same aerodynamics as a cow i’m shocked it’s that quick

0:31 it looks like an i8 and GTR had a mutant baby that grew to be taller than both parents

[mbizozo]

The iX keeping up with the Taycan is seriously impressive.

Sam is right, if you guys weren't there, this race would be like watching a water boiling race between 4 brands of electric kettle.

Due to me living in China and working in the trading business and some customers bought Chinese cars i had to test drive a lot of them and to be completely honest i was shocked they have very good and very reliable cars and they are relatively cheaper than other competitors

[blicknessraven]

I'm with Sam on this one, the lack of engine noise removes some drama from the art

[african_warrior]

8:16 the moment he felt he was going to win but starts cursing the Hi-Phi Z limiter is so 😂😂😂😂

[oscarmusowoya]

You should have given Sam another run at the Drag Race after his Discovery

[DPCcars]

I am amazed at how many videos Carwow is putting out lately. Amazing job guys. 👏

[brian.z]

Chinese cars won my respect respect already. They improve so fast in just a few years.

[kieranaldenhemasurya]

Speed limiters is probably the rolling race killer😂

[michaelhe]

It seems Chinese EV cars are all limited to a top speed of 180kph, probably due to their regulations.

Well just let you know that there is a new car called Zeeker 001 FR. 0-60 number is 2.07s... just released. Hope you guys can take a video of that car one day.
