Kia EV6 AWD Nurburgring Lap! When A Viewer Tossed Me The Keys

[@robnelsonbayvillage]

What a gentleman allowing you to drive his car on Nurburgring. Four in the car for a ride around the ring! Love it.

[@leonsmitherman5688]

The young lady in the back looks genuinely ill 🤢 but she’s an absolute trooper to hang in there and not complain one bit!! Well done! Great drive and great video as usual!!

[@moorebid_]

Yeah, she went from constant thumbs-up to hanging onto her seatbelt, to "Oh, I'm gonna barf…" at 13:07.

[@vanessalisaoelmann]

She did amazing🎉

[@GoonieGooGoo910]

The rear seat is the worst. Just don't sit there if you've never been.

[@keving1662]

Looking at a handheld screen while going through a bunch of corners is a recipe for motion sickness. Props to her for keeping it together.

[@thedr2024]

The gentleman looked properly worried at the start of the lap 😂. Thanks for another great video

[@cordkretzschmar5693]

I was a little bit concernd about some bottles of beer in the Trunk. I attached them before the ride but i was not sure, they survived.

[@infg0753]

With every nervous laugh he was replaying his life choices 😂

[@fr3aktim918]

the girl in the back is a friend of mine, she enjoyed it definitely

[@tajanaschmitz]

it was a great ride hahah. very cool experience. Thank god I was able to hold it back and didn't throw up.😂😅

[@tupolev141]

You did great. The back seat is a difficult place to be, especially when filming too.

[@robert5008]

I really like these basic street car runs. Thanks Kyle and the owner and his family to let Kyle run their car on the Ring.

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

I hope that kind man had the absolute time of his life! He seemed so genuine along with the friendly KZbinrs. Here's the keys, buckle up and don't be shy to it, let's see what it'll do and have some fun! 😊

[@trevorross1311]

Kyle had the family on the edge of their seats flying around the track.😂

[@fleecystheking]

Kyle in a T-SHIRT?! I’ve seen everything now. 😮

[@cordkretzschmar5693]

Oh nice. Was such a wonderful ride. Very good to have an experienced driver on the ring. Could do this every day. Thanks was so much fun.

[@alanrivaldo-h]

Cord, thank you for offering your car for Kyle to drive so he could make this informative and fun video! I'd be hesitant to drive the course myself, even in my own car.

[@RooKooRarr]

Great video, thanks for not barfing in the back seat, the young lady did amazing 👏👏👏

[@aussie2uGA]

This is what makes this channel rise above the others who have no idea about chassis dynamics and how to properly drive.

[@js69927]

We have this car in the yacht blue colour. Its so nice to drive, comfortable and lightning quick 😊

[@js69927]

It's really cool to see them talking about turning the traction control off and also the regen level used during the race. I didn't realise the traction control was turned off to preserve the brakes. Also the level of regen during the drive. I love driving with higher regen levels 😅

[@Captain_DeSync]

Wow what an amazing guy hahaha. That, was awesome.

[@hieyeque1]

Thanks for the lap! Here's your newly warped rotors and worn tires! Thhaaaaanks! LOL

[@Charlesbjtown]

I could see him lumberg saying this 😂

[@roadfordays]

Rotors 👏 do 👏 not 👏 warp 👏. Talk to anyone who tracks seriously, and they will tell you a "warped" rotor is simply one with uneven pad deposits, caused by heating a crap pad until it melts, and then leaving the car stopped long enough for the pad to leave a pile of itself in one spot. Simply re-bed the brake pads and the the problem is fixed. "Warped rotors" is mechanics' favorite myth. What better way to sell someone a $25 part they don't need, take 10 minutes to swap it, and charge the owner $500+? I've pushed rotors so hard on track that they literally split down to the hub and gaped open by an inch, like a Pac Man. I have never "warped" a rotor. Kyle is right to not stop the car after coming off track, but warping is not the issue, it's just preventing rotor cracks and uneven pad deposits

[@scott8919]

​@@roadfordays BULL. This is why you don't spray water on brake rotors or immediately stop to let them cool. When different sections cool at different rates, they indeed warp.

[@roadfordays]

@@scott8919 I agree. Think long and hard about exactly which sections of the rotor are cooling at different rates, whether those areas are contracting harder than others, and exactly what force that would place on which point along the rotor. When things pull apart from each other, they don't bend. They crack.

[@babybirdhome]

If rotors didn’t warp then you would have a buildup on both sides and that’s not what you see when you machine the rotors - when on one side it’s grinding down metal to true them up again, on those same spots on the other side, you have a gap where you’re not making contact with the rotor. They do indeed warp.

[@davidbaker9943]

“I hope no one from my insurance sees this!” 😂😂😂😂”don’t let your wife see this!!!” 😂😂😂. Excellent video!!!

[@rahansk8200]

This video is a nice surprise...A spontaneous encounter full of surprises.

[@PeaceChanel]

Thank You Everybody for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊

[@Gerry090]

Wow you've been busy in Europe! Thanks for the videos, bois!!

[@DanielBrownOre]

I got this car as best tech all around non Tesla I could get on massive rebate special. Used $2500 to go with lighter wheels and Eibach springs that lowered it ~1.5" without adding any harshness and it handles great!

[@OrionDC]

Thanks for another fun video. As a 5N owner I am hoping that you’re able to pick one up and make more videos with that soon!

[@prerunnerwannabe]

Man, this makes me want to pick up a used EV6 even more!

[@davidgiles9751]

As a fellow 22' EV6 GTL-AWD owner, I'd love to run the Nurburgring.

[@olemissjim]

Kia is built for the trailer park not the ring

[@abraxastulammo9940]

​@@olemissjim800 V for the win!

[@Frankomd]

Fantastic video, Kyle!

[@DoubleCTech]

That’s awesome and I would love to take my Ioniq 6 around a race track. Also if I ever ran into Kyle somewhere I would totally let him use my car.

[@jameshetfield5894]

Haha, cool video, awesome humans😊 Thanks for the fresh ideas in your content

[@boborambow]

What a nice treat to drive a viewer around the Nurburgring no less haha. It would have been sick if you had your obd sensor plugged in. Leaving regen on around a lap, I would love to see temps. So fun! Love the impromptu video! I am looking forward to seeing Colton’s view on road tripping with his ev6. Even though the Tesla network is unbeatable. The charging time on the ev6 is unreal. Keep up the fun work!

[@abraxastulammo9940]

What is the roadmap of Tesla upgrading to 800 V?

[@boborambow]

Oh man, I hope it is soon. I made a typo, I meant unbeatable haha. It will be so great when the Tesla network is 1000 volt compliant and e-GMP cars have access to it.

[@ALRinaldi]

We need a Nurburgring in America. Get it done Kyle!

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Kyle is your friendly Nuerburgring Uber 😂

[@gregkramer5588]

Still love the EV6!

[@STALLIAN-td2eg]

Cool car,the back looks like the Urus❤Front is similar to the Lucid

[@robertregan2305]

What a great video.❤ What a beautiful electric car ❤ I want one ❤

[@Scotty_B123]

I’d love to see an Ioniq 5N on this track.

[@bartek_domaciuk]

Kyle if you’re still there and Kia won’t give you that GT try to ask Kia Poland. They should hand a couple of them GT’s in Warsaw and they’re so open they gave me (I’m not even a journalist) for a week. Reach out to them and maybe they will provide GT for a ring

[@david9192]

Yes, toss me the keys 😁

[@IronmanV5]

I bet Colton is envious

[@ElmarBon]

Who asks if he/she can drive a strangers car on the Nürburgring? oh i know 😂

[@joebullwinkle5099]

What's fascinating to me is that the EV6 didn't cook its brakes and overheat the battery. Recently a Highland Model 3 performance went on the Nuremberg ring and its brakes started seriously smoking around 25% into a lap and the battery overheated around 50% into the lap. It was a complete joke! Tesla should be ashamed of themselves for releasing a performance vehicle that's a piece of junk on a track!

[@PhilHarlow]

You are comparing a casual drive in someone else's car vs a full blown time attack tho...

[@joebullwinkle5099]

@@PhilHarlow It was on a public track day, so exactly the same circumstances. Maybe a little harder, however only 2 up. There are also other Highland videos of track days where, it's even worse 3-4 corners the brakes are cooked and the battery shortly thereafter. My point is, it has a dedicated track mode and yet its worthless for even an amateur on a track day!

[@PhilHarlow]

@@joebullwinkle5099 I’m going to guess you don’t have much seat time at the track. The circumstances are that he’s on non-performance tires, in someone he doesn’t know’s car, while the passenger is visibly fearful. You’re not driving hard in that instance. Compare to a time attack in your own prepped car. Those are very different circumstances. Driving even 8/10s is an extremely different thermal load than 9/10s. There very well could be issues with the highland p, I’m just pointing out that your comparison doesn’t really make sense here

[@MoppelMat]

That was Misha taking from the Model 3 all it has, harsh breaking and ruthless accelerating, thats NOT comparable to a casual drive around the Ring that Kyle showed here.

[@cordkretzschmar5693]

So the break was at it`s limit after 1 lap. Battery and the motor where fine. Tires also. But Kyle was gentle to the breaks and tires to the end. I never was worried about he could damage the car.

[@thyristo]

Will you drive the SU7 ultimate as well?

[@howlinhauler]

When will you get the 2024 e-transit?

[@r2stik]

fully loaded with 4, 250kmh and big smile

[@cordkretzschmar5693]

The GT line has a limited Vmax. around 190Km/h. If you want to go 250 Km/h you need the GT

[@wdentondouglas]

No offense, but I would never let Kyle near my new tires.

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Got to run-in your tyres! 😅

[@nedj10]

Could you please ask your host to say the following phrase "Welcome, to the Slingshot channel" :)

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Har har har! 😏

[@IrenESorius]

Very cool,, 👍‍‍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍‍‍

[@svenzeitler2654]

Great! ❤

[@MoppelMat]

@Kyle how do you know how to drive the Ring and everything else about drive a racing style? Cool down the rotors is not that commonly known around Americans I think…?

[@Martin-dx5zs]

Volvo EX30 review soon?

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Looks like another luxury car from a reasonably priced manufacturer!! How Kia can afford to make great cars for so little money, I’ll never know!!

[@concinnus]

Not really luxury. Hyundai/Kia have Genesis for that.

[@olemissjim]

It’s far from luxury, it’s a trailer park brand with mostly wretched stealerships that prey on poor people. Endlessly scheming to avoid paying for recalls of deadly defects.

[@MrDgt66]

And not that cheap either.

[@nroose]

Seems really surprising that Nurburgring is still doing this stuff.

[@BradleyHetherington]

You da man!

Ugh, why the 24 FPS? Oh, the judder…

[@joeb4294]

That poor family, I'm not sure that they knew what they had signed up for, lol

@@cordkretzschmar5693 oh, thank you for the context - I assumed that they were your children, haha

[@toyotaprius79]

Would rather see a KIA RAY EV do the lap. Everyone loves to see slow cars race as fast as they can

[@markmiller6844]

The what? Wait... OMG That thing is so cute!

[@Scoopta]

I drove a rental EV6 once, second kia I've ever driven, the first being the niro...I was really hoping the EV6 would be better...and it was because unlike the niro it had one pedal driving...but the fact that one pedal driving disables itself when you take the car out of drive so you have to turn it back on every time you get in and the paddles and...I will never buy a kia. Disaster of a car, I hated the niro and the EV6 was only marginally less terrible...oh and the fake noises, had to turn those off, absolutely terrible when companies put fake noises in their car.

[@svenskenh644]

So that little detail makes it a disaster of a car!?! Come on… iPedal is not the best way to drive; neither for driving economy or the uphold of the brakes (or safety for that matter). And Kia has to comply with EU regulations stating that the official numbers for the car are based on the defailt starting level.

[@ibeam68]

What exactly is so terrible about it? I have the same exact car and I love it. Best car I've had since the 80s.

[@jimwilt4944]

Because it is so hard to pull the left paddle. Once.

[@Scoopta]

@@svenskenh644 one pedal driving isn't the most efficient on highways but it's perfectly fine around town. Also...how on earth is it bad for the brakes? Regen saves your brakes. Safety???? The brakes still exist, it's not like you're forbidden from using them? I often turn off one pedal driving on the highway in my car...but then that reminds me of the OTHER problem with EV6 one pedal...turning it off turns on creep...so now you've got your car pretending it has an automatic transmission. It does not drive like a modern EV in any way. It drives like a gas car with an electric power train and if that's how you like to drive your car that's fine...but I think having settings is good so people can choose how they want to drive the car. Additionally the whole car was annoying, this was just the big thing that annoyed me. The fake noises are annoying but can be turned off so that's just my preference but the software is a disaster as Kyle points out, the built in navigation is mediocre, the voice assistant is hilariously useless.

[@Scoopta]

@@jimwilt4944 it is rather annoying to have to do. It's an extra step other cars don't make you do and it's unavailable in reverse and disables itself in reverse

[@Charlesbjtown]

Hate it when 4 people load up for a track session.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Would I do a thing like that to a car? Not even on the Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit!! I’m a traditional car driver who likes to enjoy a vehicle at road and motorway speeds, not F1 speed!!

[@olemissjim]

?

[@cordkretzschmar5693]

but it is so much fun.
