2022 G70 3.3 races M340i 😬😬

Not too surprising tbh. The G70 is held back by its torque limitation from a dig and the B58 has legs up top. I would expect a JB4 to match the 340i from a roll, but still lag on a dig.

Ha! Exactly what I wrote on the Youtube video comments. An ECU tune on the other hand would match things up pretty well on the dig.

lol you can totally hear the G70 gradually accelerate as it eases into the power. Gotta protect that transmission now.

This is a fun exercise. It actually shows the Genesis performing more or less the same as the video, and this site doesn't consider 1st gear torque limitations I don't think.

Cool, though honestly it looks like the M340I beats the stock G70 by more than this simulation would indicate.

6 cars to be specific lol

Would love to see the drivers change cars....

Even an upgrade to the 3.5TT wouldn't change things much unless Genesis went back to using the ZF8.

Engine isn't the issue. It's the programming of the ECU and TCU. The 3.3T is more that capable.

Exactly, Genesis is doing everything to protect that 10 year/100k mile warranty. Little to no boost in the cylinders when setting up launch and TCU & ECU logic is programed to ease into acceleration. All in effort to reduce gear shock and initial powertrain torque output. The full unhinged version of the 3.3T would probably do well by itself against the M340i, however I'm not sure how long the trans or drive shaft would hold up against the full brunt of the 3.3T. The early revisions of the R35 GTR had similar issues keeping up with the massive torque down low in the RPM range.

Even with the Lozic ECU + TCU Tune, I don't think the full capability of the 3.3T can be properly showcased without reinforcements to the rest of the powertrain, adjustments to the suspension, and potentially a different wheel setup to deliver the power properly while maintaining a good form of reliability.
