It’s been clear for years that electric vehicles aren’t just efficient, they’re mind-blowing fast. Now, Rivian is proving it all over again with a truck that weighs over 7,000 pounds (3,175 kg) once the driver jumps in.

Results from a fresh independent test make it hard to argue otherwise: the R1T Quad Motor Max Pack is astonishingly fast. So fast, in fact, that it can line up against the 655 hp Corvette E-Ray hybrid in a drag race and come away even. Just think about that for a second.

How Fast Is It Really?

The folks over at Car and Driver just managed to sprint from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in the R1T in just 2.6 seconds. That’s the exact same time that the Tesla Cybertruck managed, but past 60 mph, the Rivian leaves the angular Tesla for dead.

By 70 mph (113 km/h), the R1T is already ahead of the Cybertruck, and by 100 mph (161 km/h), it’s 0.9 seconds out in front. When the Rivian crosses the quarter mile, the Tesla is still 0.6 seconds behind despite weighing less.

In the end, the Rivian covers the standard quarter mile in just 10.6 seconds, crossing the line at 128 mph (206 km/h). Yes, that’s a ten-second truck, and it’s as wild as it sounds. That figure represents a huge leap forward, at a full 1.1-second and 17-mph improvement over the previous-generation quad-motor version.

The fact that the automotive world now produces something like this shows just how far things have come since the Fast and Furious era first imagined it.

This level of performance comes from a massive 1,025 horsepower (764 kW) and 1,198 lb-ft (1,625 Nm) of torque. By comparison, America’s everyday supercar in hybrid form, the Corvette E-Ray, pairs a 6.2-liter V8 with an electric motor for a combined 655 hp (488 kW) and 594 lb-ft (806 Nm).

Today, the R1T Quad Motor Max Pack is quick compared to just about everything. The Corvette E-Ray, initially touted as the quickest of its kind, can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. By the time it gets to the end of the quarter mile, the Rivian has actually caught it and tied it exactly down to the trap speed.

Few Gas Cars Can Follow

If we get away from electrified sports cars and look at gas-only options, very few cars in the world come even close to keeping up. The Ford F-150 Raptor R needs 3.6 seconds to get to 60 mph. The standard Corvette Stingray needs 2.8. A Porsche 911 GT3 RS needs 2.7.

Put simply, the R1T can do what just about every other car on earth can do, short of tow things a long long way without refueling or, you know, escape a simple fender bender without being a write off.

Mahindra has rolled out a fresh take on its BE6 electric SUV, arriving a year after the model’s debut in India. This new BE6 Formula E Edition celebrates the brand’s ongoing presence in the FIA Formula E championship, carrying a range of design tweaks.

When most carmakers release a special edition, the updates stop at paint colors, wheels, or graphics. Mahindra went a step further, reshaping parts of the body to make the BE6 Formula E Edition stand out for more than its decals.

What Sets It Apart?

The BE6 Formula E Edition features a distinct front bumper framed by round LED headlights and sharply contoured detailing. A new skid plate and a generous spread of dark liquid metal cladding make it look more like a dune-conquering rally car than a formula-inspired build.

The rear bumper has also been redesigned, joined by a double spoiler. Furthermore, the vertical LEDs have been blocked for a cleaner look.

The SUV sits on new 20-inch alloy wheels, though Mahindra also offers the familiar 19-inch set from the standard BE6. Along the profile, the glass roof and pillars wear racing-inspired graphics that contrast neatly with the four body colors on offer: Everest White, Firestorm Orange, Tango Red, and Stealth Black

The fully electric SUV has also gained Formula E badges on the front fenders and special branding on the windshield. The cabin combines black upholstery with Firestorm Orange inserts, FIA-branded seat belts and plaque, the Formula E logo on the dashboard, and a custom startup animation.

Equipment is generous, with a standard digital cockpit, dual wireless charging, a Harman Kardon audio system, and an ADAS suite.

Performance And Range

The Formula E special doesn’t get any performance upgrades over the high-spec BE6. The rear-mounted electric motor produces 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS) and 380 Nm (280.3 lb-ft) of torque, sending the SUV from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.7 seconds and on to a 202 km/h (126 mph) top speed. A 79 kWh battery provides an estimated 500 km (311 miles) of real-world range.

The top FE3 trim adds adaptive suspension as standard, making it the most sophisticated version yet.

Pricing

Mahindra prices the BE6 Formula E Edition from ₹23.69 lakh ($26,500) for the FE2 and ₹24.49 lakh ($27,400) for the fully equipped FE3. Unlike the limited-run Batman Edition, this one will be widely available, though still exclusive to India. Orders open on January 14, with first deliveries due by February 14, 2026.

For younger fans, Mahindra even plans a BE6 Formula E Ride-On toddler car, arriving in April 2026 for ₹18,000 ($200).

Mahindra has competed in Formula E since the series began in 2014, claiming five victories and 29 podiums to date. While a championship title remains elusive, the team’s consistency has secured its place on the grid for the next era of the sport, continuing into the GEN4 generation for the 2026–2027 season
