Performance testing starts at 2:48

Acceleration G-force seems off? Higher than a McLaren GT haha?

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yeah I noticed that - had to double-check during editing. But the Vbox showed 1.235g on the quicker run, and 1.240g on the 7.20s run. Maybe something to do with the electric motor surge?

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia Interesting! It's significantly higher than the IONIQ 6 you just tested and almost the same g-force as a model 3 performance which throws you right back haha. Must be a tiny blip somewhere that triggers it

@@lamborghini0610 Yep, I think you're right. I guess g-force isn't really related to how fast a car is, but more about the sudden movement and the perception of weight it causes. I find heavier vehicles usually pull high Gs as well, especially during braking. We need a physics engineer to explain for us!
