We take Gen 2 quad-motor Rivian R1T and R1S out on the Pacific Raceway track to test out the performance of the electric pickup truck and SUV.
With 835 horsepower and 908 lb-ft of torque, the first-generation quad-motor Rivian R1T and R1S have always been incredibly powerful and quick vehicles. I know firsthand since I've owned both variants. So I was excited to get behind the wheel of the Gen 2 R1 vehicles, particularly the new quad-motor variant, to see how noticeable the extra 190 hp and 290 lb-ft of torque was. It was, well, definitely noticeable.
We started out taking turns in each vehicle for the 0-60 mph runs and I managed to hit the mark in 2.98 seconds in the R1T and 3.13 seconds in the R1S. Rivian claims the R1T can achieve the goal in under 2.5 seconds in ideal conditions. We all had to drive with a Rivian representative in the vehicles, so that added about 170 lbs of unnecessary weight.
