Now we bet this is a drag race you didn’t expect to see today!
Mat’s rolled up to our latest drag race in an all-electric Kia EV6, and he’s going up against a Ferrari F355 to see whether a mid-level EV can match up to a supercar from the ‘90s!
Now you might think it’s a foregone conclusion, but these cars are more evenly matched than you may think! Starting with the EV6, it’s equipped with dual electric motors that can deliver 325hp & 605Nm of torque. It powers all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 2,090kg.
Then we have the Ferrari. It’s a whole lot lighter than the Kia, weighing in at 1,350kg. It’s also powered by a 3.5-litre naturally-aspirated V8, that’s good for 380hp & 360Nm.
However, it has two potential disadvantages. For one, it only drives the rear wheels, and secondly, it’s a manual! Will that prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

1:40 Drop a LIKE if you love the sound of that Ferrari 🤤
The sound of that Ferrari is absolutely insane!
Really impressive how Kia, a normal family SUEV, competing with a supercar, even though the ferrari is 30 years old!
It’ll sound even better with a capristo exhaust.
The ferrari is awesome!!
ktm x bow gt4 vs porsche drag race please bro
That Ferrari is honestly timeless....
Absolutely
It is very pretty
Hahahah looks old…have you seen the golf 5 gti? Probably the most timeless car there is, mine also has a straight pipe which sounds better than this ferrari
Such a sexy car
@@Jannajx5 No it doesnt
The sound of that Ferrari is absolutely insane!
YEEEEEEP one of my faborite ferraris
@@mBest-zv3kr Me too!
Like an insane lawn strimmer, yeh.
Agreed, this 355 makes the 458 sound like a 992 Carrera S. Even the most modern NA-engined Ferrari is a slight step back in terms of noise and an overrated noise at that.
It's the magic of the 5 valve head, best sounding V8 Ferrari has ever produced. The 355 and 360 Stradale only lose out to the F50, but that's a F1 derived V12 so of course it's going to sound glorious :-)
Extremely impressed by that older Ferrari. I absolutely thought it would lose just about everything. And great driving by the fella in the 355.
Write me ⤴️⤴️ l have something
important to share with you
whats so impressive ? it has more power and weighs 700 kg less, stop dickriding electric cars
@@mounir9899 Damn, that really got to you.
AWD is such a huge factor in a drag race, combined with not needing to suffer any manual gear changes, I thought it would win. And don't forget it did win the first race.
@@MazDanRX795 yes the Kia got AWD but just not enough power to weight ratio, need more torque to move that baby elephant. Ferrari doesn't need AWD as it's already had a great amount of traction on the rear since it's a mid-engined. Love the classic supercar 😍
381hp is enough to beat a lot of cars.
That Ferrari is absolutely stunning. Dude knows how to drive it too, those launches were perfect every time.
That F355 is a timeless supercar with timeless performance. Such a gem of an old school supercar!👍
What is timeless performance for a bullshit now?
I agree with this, Nick. 🙏
@Eleven11 I'd rather crap in my hands then clap in my face than watch that .
right, but i would be interested to know in which direction the price of the classic cars goes if everyone goes EV?
performance isn't timeless, sound and looks are
The magic of old Ferrari's and their brilliant V8's is awesome to watch.
The plural of Ferrari is "Ferraris", not "Ferrari's"
@@lptomtom yep.
@raphael gamers Almeida yep. But not more than Porsche.
I mean it barely beat a kia so ima have to disagree
And the 6 speed gated manual
Finally A guy that can drive his own car 👏
I was not expecting those results...but I was wishing them. That sound is pure and brutal. The Kia is a nice car, but the 355 is a masterpiece
Jason nailed the final drag race 👏👏
Tyres were warmed up
Dude is honestly a great driver
Massive launch and great shifts, brilliant sounding car as well! Lovely stuff👌
@@texeract6209 yep. Not as great as THE STIG.

This was a lot more interesting than I first assumed it would be!
Wieldop, this is also the mascot car for F355 CHALLENGE Arcade Game. U know what?
I concur
The 355 is to this day still my absolute favorite Ferrari out of them all, simply perfect! 😍👌
I'm more a fan of the Testarossa/512 TR, but the 355 is simply breathtaking in every way.
F40 is still the benchmark in my eyes.
I'm all in for the f-50
Id pay the fuel bill just for the sound of that absolutely stunning 355

Seeing an old supercar still being able to beat a modern midrange EV is weirdly relieving
It's not weirdly relieving, just relieving

The Ferrari has no chance against the EV6 GT.
Well, it’s not really a supercar, the F50 would be Ferrari supercar of the mid-90s
@@mRkeLabR Right. But even the F50 would have a hard time against a EV6 GT.
Thanks so much Matt for this video, I was in the market for a 90s supercar for my family. Thanks again Carwow you've helped me out
The F355 always bring me tears of joy, thank you for existing.
I honestly wouldn't care if that Ferrari lost by a mile because it's just so pretty and sounds so good 🤤 for me the best looking Ferrari ever made, it's just such a classic shape.
Jamie, performances never lie.
Plus it’s more fun car to drive
458 italia would be the best looking Ferrari ever made
@@damarfadlan9251 i would rather drive a jaguar e type than a Tesla. Take that performance and shove it up where no one can see it for all i care
Like Jeremy Clarkson said: "The 355 is good in miniature."
that guy driving the Ferrari is a proper driver.... timming the gear change is a key in driving when racing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Exactly, his second and third drag races were amazing.
I agree. 99 percent of people wouldn't win in that car, the EV would run away. Those launches were perfect every time. He really does his car justice.
You could tel he was giving the old beast sympathy in the first run then must of thought fuck this 🤣
@@rosco3223 haha exactly yeah, probably thought must not let POS EV win.
@@rosco3223 At first, he was probably like, “I don’t want engine out service after this.” Then “F it, not losing to a Kia!”
One of the best drag races i've seen on this channel!
one of the BEST videos, I love the old vs new stuff. very cool.
It would be cool if you could show the EV battery % before and after these races. It would be interesting to know how much charge this sort of driving uses up.
Yep. Maybe even more interesting. 🙏
It doesn’t use much, drag times tested the plaid and they can do 40 - 1/4 mile runs on one charge. Maybe 1-2% each pass.
@@raydoherty5419 You are not getting the point, performance of EVs depends a bit on the level of their charge so if the car had 60% charge we would know that this was the result but the car would do a bit better if it were above 80%
@@raydoherty5419 doesn't use much? So doing 10 miles from a full battery of a plaid isn't using much battery? Or say 20 miles because they have to drive back to the start line.
@@raydoherty5419 do you think that would be the same for all EVs or just Tesla? Curious to see if different EVs react differently to it.
If we could just have the noise of that incredible Ferrari, that would be great please! 😃

I was a passenger in 355 as a kid once, that ride has always stuck with me! No matter what I’ve owned as an adult nothing will compare to that 355.
Go buy one bro
Really? Nothing? I guess if all you're buying are Camry's...
Harsh? Rough? Bouncy?
@@chewsir it's all preferences man
355 looks and sounds gourgeous. I remember when this model went into production, and for me it's the apex of the wedge-shaped Ferrari era. This one and the 288 GTO.
Hi mf
288 GTO best looking ferrari ever
@@LuxusLeina hi mf
Agree with other comments - 288GTO is THE most beautiful Ferrari ever!
@@woggybot hi mf
Amazing videos as always 🤩
Would be nice to see the accelerationtime measured by a dragy ^^
That was fun! More of this please.
Sweet ride 355, looks & sounds awesome🔥
I actually thought that the ferrari was gonna lose every single one except the brake test. Not because it's lighter but because Matt never wins a brake test 😂
Shows how little I care about speed. Nothing would ever make me choose the kia over the F355 😍
Price
Fuel prices
Reliability.
you're going to hell, if Christ Jesus has his way with ye
@@GaryKetchum808 ye the Kia surely is reliable
Amazing job Jason ! 👏🏼
The Ferrari might not have 380hp still given the age, but win or lose its all worth it when you get to listen to that glorious sound. Still best sounding Ferrari in my opinion and my favourite Ferrari too.
360 stradale.
By the looks of it, this is a later F355, those have a more ‘strangled’ engine. Both the early and later F355 are rated at 380hp, but anecdotal evidence suggests the early one surpasses that whilst the later falls a bit short. And yes, the years are starting to count too.
@@kasimirdenhertog3516 oh ok good to know, why is that? the adition of a catalyst?
812 sounds better
O
It's amazing to me to see how closely matched these cars are in acceleration, considering how wildly different the applications are.
Also considering that buying a used 355 is much more environment friendly than buying a Kia ev6
@@anandpushkar7510 That is entirely incorrect, my guy.
@Jonathan Barnes Blackburn what about how much fuel that thing guzzles over all these years… that thing was built years ago when manufacturing was even more polluting :) Electric car pollution stops after manufacturing yet that thing keeps producing more and more emissions. Thanks and goodbye
@Jonathan Barnes Blackburn The emissions of an EV during its life-cycle are way less than an ICE. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@o0alias0o93 Your statement is valid in a country that doesn't rely massively on fossil fuel for electricity production. So not in the UK and a lot more countries.
That “Damn” was the most American Mat has ever been 4:44
Ever since F355 vs Aston race in Golden Eye, the F355 had my heart.
Great mash up Matt!
Xenia onatopp is so hot...
Throwing clutch care out the window juat to teach electric cars a lesson. Top marks. Brilliant race
teach electric cars a lesson? lmao, you’re living in denial
I really hoped the F355 would win. Thank God it did 🥳
@@hardywoodaway9912 lmao you do, the sound alone 🤤🤤🤤
Was the other car electric? Never really noticed it
"teach EVs a lesson" what lesson?
The sound of ferrari is amazing. Wasn't accepting these result. Great. And they are a lot better than top gear
Not the original one though
@@massineboulboul6251 Right and when jeremy clarkson was there
@@sandysharma3422 👍👍👍
God farting.
I wonder how many horses of the Ferrari left after all these years… anyway beautiful car with an amazing sound. Thank you Mat for your brillant comments and comparrisons
With as good of shape as its in, probably all of em😂
Ferrari usually hold their power well when in good shape, the F40, after reconstructing the engine has a power of 513 horses on the dyno, (478 bhp on oem spec). I think that F355 has at least 360-375 bhp.
All of them when they came out it did the 1/4 mile in 13.2/3 if I’m correct
God I wanted a 355 soooo bad when they came out and this made me realize I STILL want one so bad. They’re just so gorgeous.
Respectable time for such a old car. Ferrari for the win!
King Rabbit101, i think maybe an interesting chance if we pick this car on a drag race against FORD GT40.
it is still so expensive tho
EV6 GT vs Ferrari Roma would be interesting.
Ev6 gt v a mclaren would also be interesting
Interesting video to show how 40 years of technology can mean a family car can keep up with a supercar. You should Do one with f40 vs f50 vs enzo vs la Ferrari, obviously the outcome is known but would be interesting to see how big of a margin between them all
Write me ⤴️⤴️ l have something

@@stevey5151 well of course, a f1 would still destroy alot of cars today
Beautiful car from Jason! Sounds awesome.
this is the most random drag race I've ever seen but Imma watch it anyway because it'll be fun
Good race, would be interesting to re do this with the EV6 GT when it's available.
The GT would probably beat the Farrari if the standard four wheel drive only lost by a tenth of a second.
No chance for the Ferrari with the EV6 GT… For that drag race you need a modern Ferrari, not one from the nineties
Those Ferrari screaming noises 🤤 😔 😢 I'm crying 😭
Amazing a do-it-all sedan(ish) can keep up with a bit of a legend. The differences in times/speeds are truly insignificant. And there's now a GT version... Such a gorgeous sound coming out of that 355! We all win :)
Just some insane shifting skills and comeback from Jason ❤
Driving skills ?? In straight line ?
@@docdestin9487 you've clearly never launched a manual car before.
@@rubenlay610 just having no gears completely dulls electric cars, no soul, no fun, no sound. You just plant your foot on a pedal and move...boring
@@commanderspock5983 I agree completely. Doc Destin was saying that driving any car fast in a straight line requires no skill which simply isn't true.
@@rubenlay610 i agree you need skills in a straight line, I drive a 1994 nissan primera GT, twin cam high revving engine, you have to be perfect through every gear otherwise there's a major power drop off, I almost spun out in a straight drag race just simple changing into second gear, that was a rear wheel MR2 though.
The Ferrari should've just stood at the line revving it's engine the whole time and claimed it as a win based on that.
i wouldnt have argued with him, the only thing ice engines have going for the atm, sound
@@ianwalton4408 they're also much more exciting to drive, especially old ones with manuals. Electric cars are just for the acceleration, everything else about the driving is meh most of the time.
@@mstrax0258
It depends on the car. The electric Mini is close to the gas version in terms of driving dynamics.
@@PrivateEyeYiYi For the Mini's that aren't so exciting to begin with maybe they aren't so different, but if you compare them with something like a Taycan and a GT3 RS the difference on the driving experience will be massive.
@@PrivateEyeYiYi but is it as enjoyable as a manual jc works? That's the thing, I doubt that electric cars are ever gonna be as fun as ice cars, and the fact that in the near future they could ban combustion cars makes me sad.
The 355 looks and sounds perfect. Love it as much today as I ever did.
Even though the Ferrari 355 was losing the first race I enjoyed that awesome Ferrari sound shifting through the gears, you just can't beat that sound. Kudos to the Farrari and Jason doing an awesome job with an "old school" Farrari, these Farraris will remain a classic till the end of time.
We still need that foot race with you and yianni.😩
Yes!!!!!!!!!
pov : your partner's face when u hit her G-SPOT !! 😂 1:51
The braking of the Ferrari, with the years it has been impressive!
This is cool Mat! I want more electric vs eletric aswell 😊
Great job, Jason! Now that is some racing!🤩manual shifts..some actual skills, not just stepping on the accelerator as hard as you can...well done, sir!!
Great drag race just like always !!
I would love a rematch with the GT version juste for the comparaison. Keep on those awsome videos!
Surely one of the best sounding cars since been watching these from the start!!
Love to see more classic vs new drag races like this!
F50 vs XJ220 or Mclaren F1 vs XJ220
Oh boy. The 355 is one of my favorite Ferraris of all time. Timeless design. Perfect sound. Such a beauty.
absolutely, but the car is really too good for a drag race
I mean these cars are for looking at, listening to, cruising...
@@Andy-qv9tb Sure. And the gated shifter is so difficult to manage. You really need to know how it works. So yes, these cars are made for cruising, chill and enjoy the ride.
Jason really nailed it!!
Got an EV6 on order, So glad it lost against the F355. Love that car. Amazing how car have improved that a family car is so close..
Write me ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
The ev6 has a top speed of 117mph which it got to pretty quickly. Had it been the gt version it would be hard for even a modern Ferrari to keep up
If you can call it an improvement.
Poor Jason had to work for that win, but nailed it in the end! What a nice sounding engine too! 👌
More fun that just driving.
The fact that a family car from a normal car manufacturer can even put up a challenge to a Ferrari is mad
They are 3 decades apart though
The fact that they are 3 decades apart kid
It's not always like this with all cars, i drive a 1994 nissan primera eGT, and even some modern cars struggle to beat me, Ford focus ST, golf GTI, i can effectively keep up with these kinds of modern cars as long as I stay on power perfectly.
That response from the Ferrari was amazing holy moly didn't expect that!!!
355 has got to be one of the best ageing cars ever made. I couldn't care less how fast it is! The way it looks and sounds is all you need
trash cR
Definitely more like this please! Definitely need a regular common car included like a bogo golf to help get a idea how fast / slow all these unusual cars are for comparison
That’s actually depressing to watch 😭 one of my childhood hero’s getting gapped like that by a electric Kia 😭
2nd race cheered me up 😂
I feel ya pain 🤣, the yellow spider, in the Rock was so nice.
if it was just a regular kia it would've made it a little better but the fact that its an electric on top of that just makes the slap harder.
Any Ferrari of that era with that sorta power will get gapped a bit by an all electric car as you could clearly see the guy in the Ferrari didn't always have the smoothest of gear changes, so obviously a no gear box car will better it. Besides as long as you get to hear that glorious V8 who cares if it beats or gets beaten haha
@@roddur1000 A regular Kia would be much slower...
I was a mad petrol head, have owned some great fast cars, but the combustion engine just seems quaint to me now, equivalent of sticking to horses when the first cars were manufactured. When you know it's possible to do 0-60 in 3 seconds completely relaxed in complete silence, the exhaust sounds just come across as naff. I'm glad I lived it, the skills and experience gained from old school fast cars just can't be replicated nowadays, but this is a new age. The established manufacturers are really going to struggle in the battle to distinguish their offerings and justify their prices.
Sure you were
Cant wait for you to drag the EV6 GT !!
God bless the cars from Ferrari and Lamborghini for making awesome sounding cars
Amin. 🙏
Mat, I have a suggestion : when you lose like this during the rolling race, you should just open your window and simply enjoy the beautiful sound of this V8 ^_^
Great video . You should put go pro on the back bumper and edit the sound in the last 10 seconds of the video
Nice race!
Oh my god, that F355 is absolutely stunning!
Old Ferrari V8 keeping up with an electric vehicle's instant power.
Such a pleasure to watch.
U bet 😉👍🏻
I love this new Kia supercar, perfect for cruising round Europe and on down to Monaco.
Damn, imagine telling an F355 owner in 1995 that a Kia wil make a family car that's faster than their car. They'd probably say something like "what's a Kia?"
it isnt faster do
Driving experience is far more important than 0-60 bragging rights in my opinion, if the KIA had beaten it by a mile I'd still take the Ferrari any day...that sound is incredible.
I agree. I had a mk2 focus ST (running around 320bhp) and I know it's nothing compared to that Ferrari or any modern car in terms of looks perfomance or "wow factor" but it was so good to drive. I have driven modern cars of friends, rs3, golf r, m240 etc and even though they are much much faster and are much better built, my little old focus ST felt so much better to just drive, it just felt like driver, pedals, steering wheel and gear box no fancy computing. Again, my ST wasn't anything special at all but man it was a great little car to drive
@@DDB-91 have you watched JayEmm’s review of the ST? He drives a lot of high end stuff and had nothing but praise for the Focus.
I agree
We have a Q7 but I spend all me time in our Abarth 500 because of the sound and driving experience. And bugger what anyone thinks I look like. 😂
@@markwoods8898 fair play, no point in missing out on your own happiness because of what others think.
@@ian7675 exactly. I haven’t had fun in a car like I have in my Abarth since the 205gti days!! And the addictiveness of tinkering with it is really unlike me.
Love the EV6 but like most electric cars it really does bottom out somewhere between 70 and 100 mph. For the non performance version it's still pretty exciting off the line around in cities and what not, but I wouldn't get into any races on the highways where everyone's already going 65+. The power just ain't in it at those ranges. Excited to see what the GT model will do to the midrange (roll race) performance of the car.
Honestly even on the Autobahn I can keep up with modern M4s. The difference is really not that big even when starting from 120km/h. The hardest part is the limiter at 193km/h on the spedo.
@@dasunikat1534 yeah it's definitely not GUTLESS at speed. What I was meaning to say is you're not really getting that same thrust you see in, for example, model S reviews, or Porsche taycans. It's a much more linear increase in power that makes you no quicker than most ICE vehicles with similar HP. I'm sure a Stinger in sport mode would hold the EV6 at the honk and then start dropping it because it's got a much higher top speed.
So with all that being said, if you're trying to drive aggressively on the highways, an ICE car COULD stop you if they wanted to, from whizzing around them. Because the EV6 doesn't have so much left in it at highway speed. It's the stop lights where it's well above average.
@@devongee1776 Yes at higher speed any equally powered ice (on paper) can beat the EV6. The fun thing about EVs for me is that noone suspects a Kia to dominate almost every average car up to 120km/h. And second you can daily drive 325hp for a quarter of what an equally powered petrol car would cost. Especially in city areas.
@@dasunikat1534 I guess so, but there a lots of cars out there everyday that can stomp an ev6. Most just don't care. It's like me thinking I'm hot stuff in my sr+ tesla. Sure it is zippy, but it is far from a fast car.
800v it should be alright.
That Ferrari... ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
No words.. That sound... And when we think about that the thermic motors will dissappear.. Slowly...
I'm happy with the energy we've created in the studio today
One of the best-looking and best-sounding Ferraris ever!!!
The sound of that ferrari is one the best that i have ever heard!
Quite impressed by both car, great video really
You are so funny. Love seeing your videos.
I'd love to see the EV6 GT against this. The 570 hp one. Be interesting.
No contest
We both know it would murder the Ferrari 😅
570hp vs 380hp, not entirely a fair race
my next car has almost 600 hp, unbelievable 😁😁
Put a 458 or F430 against it
Cars were meant to be driven and enjoyed. Love it when when beautiful cars aren't kept as garage queens. Nothing like the sound of a naturally aspirated Ferrari👌
Bye bye clutch🖐🏾but that sound😍😍😍
The quiet no at 6:06 😂
the F40, 348 and 355 are the embassadors of true Ferrari V8 sound, absolutely gorgeous. I don't give a flying dodo whether it's faster or slower than a Kia, it's art on wheels
Couldn't agree more.
I would like to add the 360 Modena, Enzo, F430, and 458 Italia as art.
One of the best drag races I've ever seen .

2nd drag was the best carwow drag race ever never happier to see a ferrari win
The way Matt smiles when the Ferrari is pulling away 🤣🤣🤣 car people
would love to see a 992 C4S vs an earlier gen turbo to see how far Porsche has advanced!
💯
997 Turbo vs 992 C4S as example 🤔
The new Carrera’s are turbocharged so the Turbo wouldn’t have the massive advantage of being the only forced induction car.
I was actually pleasantly surprised, I’m happy to see a 90’s super car finally beat a modern EV, Crossover or SUV
The electric weights 700kg more, and with the same power it can beat the Ferrari in 0 - 60 mph.
Now, go around the track hahha
Well, the Ferrari doesn't have electric's traction control.
Not even to mention that the EV cost less than half the Farrari and the Farrari only did the time 0.1 seconds better. Can't believe we have classic super car performance in modern day electric SUVs. What a time to be alive.
@@ArnoSnyman007 There it is🤣
A drag race does not define a supercar... It is so much more than that Matt!!
Wow, I really love Ferrari but expected the opposite! Look how fast it is still today with half of the power and manual gearbox. I love this 355 much more than before this test 😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
