This car is so slow it's embarrassing
Leaving the gym yesterday late evening, still mid-conversation, so my buddy and I agree to finish it on the phone.
He gets into his car.
I get into my practical family hatchback with a full boot, AC on, and cupholders that accept a Thermos without complaint.
Autobahn on-ramp. Road empty.
I go full-send.
He vanishes.
Rear-view mirror: empty.
I can still hear him on the call, but not what he’s saying, because his V8 is mostly producing sustained vowels and the sound of expensive air being rearranged. Every now and then a consonant makes it through. Possibly a swear word.
Then I hit vMax and just… sit there.
Limited.
Watching him slowly materialise in the mirror like a very angry, very rich mirage.
He needed the better part of a minute at full throttle to get past.
A minute.
To overtake a family car whose most aggressive design feature is the colour of its brake callipers.
Frankly humiliating.
Kia really should have given the EV6 a higher top speed. How am I supposed to keep up with a €300,000 Urus when my car is busy being sensible?
Absolutely unacceptable.
10/10. Would do again.

P.S.: Before someone say anything: the road was truly completely empty
