Slowest car DRAG RACE

Thanks to Jodie for joining us for this race: @KiddinaSweetShop
Thanks to everyone for lending us their cars:
- Ami: @MarkMcCann64
- Jimny: timelessoverland.co.uk/
We’ve brought you oh-so-many fast car drag races, so we thought it was time to turn our hand to some of the slowest cars money can buy!
We’ve got our hands on the slowest new car you can buy, the all-electric Citroen Ami, and it’s facing off against the Suzuki Jimny Commercial, the Kia Picanto and the Toyota Aygo X!
So let’s see mini maestros stack up. Starting with the Ami, it’s equipped with a single electric motor that delivers an almighty 8hp and 40Nm of torque. One of these will set you back around £7,600, and there are no prizes for guessing that it’s the lightest car here, weighing in at 471kg. Alongside it we have the Suzuki Jimny Commercial. It’s powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine which can put down 101hp and 130Nm. It’s the heaviest car here, at 1,100kg, and one of these new costs around £20,000.
Next up it’s the Kia Picanto, which houses a 1-litre 3-cylinder engine under the bonnet. This can release 67hp and 96Nm, and it tips the scales at 933kg. It’s the second cheapest car in this line-up, at £13,000. Then finally we have the Aygo X. It’s packing a 1.3-litre 3-cylinder under the bonnet which can put down 72hp and 93Nm. It weighs in at 945kg, and the price starts from around £16,000.
So what do you think - will it be a clean sweep for the most powerful Jimny? Or could the Ami spring a surprise? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
