At the rally ranch for the final rally Sprint, Adam LZ and the team take on the challenge of driving the groundbreaking Kia ev6, the first electric rally car in the US. With 576 horsepower, lightning-fast acceleration, and specialized rally modifications, this car promises a thrilling ride. However, Adam faces a learning curve, missing the left foot braking and handbrake features he's used to in his Subaru. Despite these challenges, he embraces the opportunity to test his skills in this cutting-edge vehicle.
During the race, Adam pushes the Kia ev6 to its limits, navigating tricky corners and slippery terrain. The car's quiet electric motor presents a new driving experience, with gravel noises and wheel crunching being the only sounds heard. As Adam gains confidence in the car's capabilities, he gradually increases his speed, feeling the rush of adrenaline as he maneuvers through the course. However, technical issues arise, including a debited tire and a malfunctioning differential, adding an unexpected twist to the race.
Despite these setbacks, Adam and the team persevere, crossing the finish line and showcasing the Kia ev6's performance potential. Grateful for the opportunity to pioneer electric rally driving, Adam reflects on the experience, appreciating Kia's trust in him to handle the innovative vehicle. As they wrap up the event at the rally ranch, Adam looks forward to sharing the exciting footage with his audience and continuing to explore new horizons in the world of motorsport.
