While the R1T doesn’t appear in this video, the new GMC Hummer EV Pickup does. By far the heaviest of the lot, the all-electric truck weighs 9,063 lbs. This particular model is an Edition 1, which packs 1,000 hp and 1,200 lb-ft. Can the Raptor R hold onto its newly-acquired crown?
The short answer is no. The instant torque afforded by the electric motors sends the Hummer scuttling down the drag strip with the Ford trailing in its wake. This time, the Raptor R managed a 13.25-second quarter-mile time. The Hummer, however, blitzed that time and covered the same distance in 12.36 seconds.
It’s remarkable to see the Hummer perform so well. Recently, GMC’s Duncan Alfred said the Hummer EV makes its gas-powered rivals look ordinary.
After seeing this drag race, it’s not hard to see why he believes that.
