Would've been a bit closer off the line with the 22s instead of the ATs, but the results would've been the same. I am glad they used the ATs though.

The S had no chance among that group. That Porsche is so impressive.

Now take them on a dirt track and record a hot lap!

Given that they compared an off-road capable 7-passenger SUV with a ton of storage wearing AT tires with on-road 5-passenger SUVs with ”meh” storage sporting street/track tires I can’t say that I’m shocked.

As others have written on here before, the R1 vehicles are more about the breadth of capabilities than being the best at any one thing.

Oh, and I’ve seen a couple of the Aston Martins in person and they look way better to me than in the video. Maybe white isn’t a great color for them?

I can't believe the Porsche's tires have 80 treadwear. That's insane!

It is funny -the Porsche looked great in white but the AM not so much, even though normally I would say any Aston Martin is way better looking than any Porsche. The Porsche had super cool metallic blue wheels though.

Replacement every oil change

 

[Count Orlok]

No mention of the price differences... and now do a base Cayenne...

 

[R1Sky Business]

Impressive performance nevertheless.

Now let's see the other "SUVs" ford 39 inches of water after crawling some rocks!

I’m thinking about that Aston. It’s such a beautiful vehicle. Maybe when the wife is due to trade in her car.

Can’t go wrong there. IMHO Aston’s designs are just timeless.

Interesting comparison, those are same quick vehicles.

Then I started thinking, you can get a faster 0-60 and higher top speed or for the same money buy an R1T + R1S and have some cash left for registration.

Oh and did I mention that is at current prices;

AM 209k
Porche starts at 188k

R1T Quad motor large 87k
R1S Quad motor large 92k
Starting Total 179k

So a little off-topic but what is the actual reason for the 110mph limit in the Rivian? Motors or tires?
