well... yes.

That's not a production car, though. Software alone will determine if this car drifts or not. We need an actual owner to let us know.

 

[robby.van.mieghem]

Yes and even with this small amount of horespower ( i4 40 ) Joke

So I bet @TonioRoffo our m50's will definitely drift ( perhaps we can do a session together at @cronxs parking )

 

[460]

yes, 2 tons + rear engine + wet track = drift

RWD instant torque with DSC and TC turned off will make it drift.

I'm not getting the RWD version, though. I'm getting the M50. Also, many other electric cars limit the torque at low RPMs to prevent wheelspin and/or save the drivetrain. If I turn traction control off on my Model Y, I get the same small amount of torque from 0 rpm.

Well in Norway we had a M50 drifting on a snowy track.. My m50 is under transport so i guess i will have it early in January. Then i can update you guys!

Sssssst i testdrove the i4 today. Did not try drifting but a donut 🍩 is possible.

 

[Jpuff]

Heh. In snow, a front wheen drive car can drift! Often inadvertently. Not kidding, this could kill it for me. I don't want another sleepy EV. I want balls out mad.

I'm confident the M50 will drive "balls out" just fine. It's gonna be a looooong wait!

Sideways and smiling.

They are having fun in Norway at the moment (edit: sorry just saw it was already posted earlier)

Is that with all season tires? Hehehe

This is Norway. "All season" means "winter", right?

The i4 M50 is as potent as the M4 so I hope we can do the same thing.

 

[poterico2]

well... yes.

And..she was hot!!!

 

[JST1963]

Hmmm...I have limited knowledge about this, but I'm not really sure "it" will drift.
The i40? Yes, RWD, it will drift.
The M50? No, so sure...I haven't seen any footage yet of the M50 drifting. The latest clip with Charlie Martin on the Salzburgring circuit did show us some drifting, but on a wet circuit.
I'm not convinced the M50, due to the AWD, will drift on a dry surface. Maybe by flooring it on a parking lot with lots of space, but not controlled drifting through a corner...

I just can't wait till Mat Watson challenges the i4 with some other cars (Tesla, RS3, Porsche, M3/M4/M5...)

In this video meant to showcase the capabilities of the "i4" by the director of the i4 program, David Ferrufino, pay attention to the mirrors. The M50 has the M mirrors with the upper inward facing wing, the e40 does not. You can see that all the drifting is done with the e40 (mirrors without wings), while the steering responsive demos are done with the M50 (mirrors with wings). In the suspension test, you can see the 2 cars following each other, with the M50 behind.

So I think it is fairly clear that the e40 drifts on command but Ferrufino is not able to do the same with the M50, so the only drift sequences are e40s...
