The torque on the Jaguar VGT is absolutely insane. Are there any 1900HP real life electric cars to compare it to?

I imagine not but what's the closest? The amount of power understeer and loss of traction even on the highest traction control settings is crazy. You really have to be delicate with the accelerator to keep it under control. Normally sounds very unfun but it's a blast to drive IMO. It makes you take a very different approach. The closest I can compare it to is a highly tuned old school Lancer but obviously far more powerful. If this thing was real I imagine it would just pull chunks right out of the tarmac with every turn.

The custom racing suit is the icing on the cake. I'm getting a King Arthur's Court in the 23rd century vibe from it. Wish you could use it in any car.

And what's with the cloud behind it under breaking? I assume it's mist created by compressing the humidity out of the air under extreme pressure?

After reading the description in Brand Central I think the mist is actually the liquid nitrogen from the battery cooling system.
 
Tesla Plaid and new Lucid Air both have somewhere around 1000hp, but aren't track-focused. And thats only about half as much.

Bugatti Chiron Sport with its quad-turbo V16 might be the closest.

Ford built a drift-oriented Mach E with like 1400 hp:

 
I got the ordinary VGT, got PP down to 800, took it to Monza in the WTC800 race..... insanely quick, massive torque, ran out of juice just after start of lap 2..... 🤣

Did you adjust the "fuel" map? This car feels like the Escudo; a 4 wheel drive rocket ship bordering on insanity.
 
The fuel map wasn't available..... I did look and it wasn't there. Also had no idea how to read the "fuel gauge"! Which is why I ran out of fuel at the start of lap 2.

EDIT - well of course I could see the battery indicator but couldn't work out how much I was using / saving. Electric cars mystify me! And with no fuel map tab had no idea how far I could go.Until I ran out.

Lotus Evija, Rimac Nevera, Pininfarina Battista, Aspark Owl...
 
In GTSport, I did a 06.36.xxx with it on the Nords FULLY STOCK on SH tyres...It was just as quick as Gr.3 cars, on RH tyres...insane thing that.
