NEW! CUPRA Born with eBoost (231hp) | 0-160 km/h acceleration🏁 | by Automann in 4K

Autobahn accelerations with the recently revealed CUPRA Born with eBoost & 231 hp. This car also features the 77 kWh battery and therefore offers more range than before. The downside, its weighs 140 kg more than the 57 kWh version, so I would recommend to go for the small battery with eBoost;) Please also make sure to follow all our stuff about this car on instagram! #CUPRA #Born #Autobahn

Imagine you live in Germany and want to go somewhere very quickly, no speed limit but you can't go more than 160kph in a +200hp car. Ridiculous since a 96hp Fiesta can do 190kph easily

[@RadfahrerProductions]

Hello Ghannand. It is very sad, that even many 'woke' people in Germany will not drive faster than 130 km/h even it is allowed. They ar also angry about other drivers they only use their right to drive as fast as they will and the traffic will allow. Up on that they leave no chance to demand a limitation by law. Narrow minded people and i think these kind of EV VW-Cars are made especially for them.

[@NunchucksHabit]

I'm loving the looks of this car outside, though the inside is a bit tacky. The edges, etc, looks kind of "Honda Type R" gawdy - however, the cockpit looks very functional & seems to have avoided the VW mistakes of virtual buttons & avoided the Tesla mistake of making the interior look like a hospital room without equipment. Here in Canada, AWD is a prerequisite of mine, and power from my Subaru WRX is barely adequate. My quest is to find an EV the size & shape of this Cupra, but with AWD and as close to ~600hpe as possible. So far, the Model Y Performance is the only one to provide proper power per the size of the vehicle, but I'm hopeful the market won't settle for the "neutered male" power we see from this Cupra. The 160km/h limit, while understandable, is very limiting & indicative of a "why do you need to go that fast" nanny regulation. The car looks perfectly capable of a 200km/h pace. I realize I'm in the minority when it comes to power aspirations, but with such a huge market response to the leading Model Y's 480hpe, I'm very hopeful.

@@MrGreenjubas Took that car seriously, love the direction they took it in for performance. Two strikes put that out of my considerations - first was availability (I'm not putting a payment down on a car I won't get for 2yrs - especially with all the advancements in batteries of late) and finally, the EV6 GT is, especially for the price, hideous. It's ugly as hell inside and out. I can forgive the outside, but the interior is unforgiveable. I've got a '16 WRX which is ugly as hell on the inside, but it's gorgeous in comparison, lol.

[@MaslAlek]

Car design is really cool, but engine weak and boring. Also completely no sound as an electric car... Not for me :)

[@Automann-TV]

Agree. Sound (at least interior) would have made this far definitely more engaging to drive.

[@MrStizzly]

But if they would include a sound generator, people would complain about that 😀. So, doesn't matter how the vendors do it, people will complain 😀. But the car looks pretty descent. But 160 km/h is way too slow. 200 km/h would be ok. But yeah, then the batterys will be empty quiet fast + maybe they'll be too hot.

[@dharkbizkit]

as someone who had mostly diesel engines, what i see as a big minus, is how much range you loose at higher speed with electric cars. my ford focus diesel can do 1278 km on a full tank according to the board computer. filling up at a gas station on the highway and driving 130-140 all the time, still gets me 1023km far. doing the same on the id3 i went from 419km to 206. as something who does 900 km trips twice a month (450km per trip) this would force me to take 40 minute breaks every 1,5 hours. the reduction of range is way more intensive with eletric cars then with diesel or petrol engines, not just due to speed, but even due to things like heating and the ac. it just feels sad and kind of wrong, to pay upgrade and premium prices, to get back to a state, which was standard for 40 years and didnt cost any dime extra. i know, batteries that size are cost intensive and thats where the prices comes from, but i feel, its the wrong part to be pricy here, if we want everyone to change to electric. id say: if electric cars in fiesta size, would do a minimum of 450km, would recharge in 10 minutes and would cost the same as a regular petrol car, we would have 80% eletric cars in 5years without applying political force. so my biggest problem isnt the range per se, its the combination of low range and charge times, because i would be totally happy, if the car could only do 100km at 130kmh, when recharging would be as fast as filling the tank with gas..

[@romansenger2322]

you dont get that technology if nobody buys the current cars though

[@bluebobx]

Solid state batteries and higher wattage charging might get you closer to your ideal, although the talk of doing battery swaps rather than plugging in is interesting. Totally agree on the speed/range issue - as I'm seeing comments that a typical motorway/autobahn run at 120kph nearly halves your range. This could be a big drawback for me - meaning an EV would be no good for holiday touring.

[@romansenger2322]

@@romansenger2322 thanks for sharing that, not sure whether maybe Tesla's are better in that respect 😉 or maybe the reports online of "range hit" are exaggerated.

Looks very premium, but in the end it seems a bit boring driving it around. The reason I believe so, is because of the silent engine (yes it's electric I know) and because of the many electronics, that simply 'limit' your fun with the car. A great city car it seems with a good acceleration but overpriced and down the line not fun to keep for ages. Love your vids though my friend, keep on!

~44.000 € nackt für ein solches, 160 km/h schnelles Auto mit wenig Emotionen und einer Plastiklandschaft im Inneren sind schlichtweg ein Witz, gerade auch was die Ausstattung angeht. Hier wird bei (für meinem Dafürhalten) günstigeren Herstellkosten aufgrund einer vermeintlich fortschrittlicheren Technik (die sie wie wir alle wissen nicht ist) Kasse gemacht auf Kosten der Autofahrer, der sich unter politischem Druck dem Thema E annähern soll aber im nackten Vergleich zu klassisch angetriebenen Fahrzeugen eher noch weniger Auto leisten kann als vorher, was nebst einem ländlich eher lachhaft ausgebautem Ladenetz schlussendlich auch der Grund für die maue Akzeptanz des ganzen Themas ist. Wenn man sich mal ansieht warum Länder wie Skandinavien bei den anteiligen Zulassungszahlen von E-Fahrzeugen um einiges besser abschneidet braucht man sich nur die Preise, die Förderungskultur und das Ladenetz dafür ansehen. Und sobald jeder das E Fahrzeug daheim hat wird der Strom an der "Zapfsäule" unerschwinglich teuer sein, die KFZ Steuer Befreiung kein Thema mehr sein und uns mit der grottenschlechte CO2 Bilanz der Akkuherstellung das nächste schlechte Gewissen gemacht werden, um Kasse zu machen!
