To be fair I think the Urus is on carbon ceramicsLol these are fun.
For something so big it's just a little bit silly...
But the brakes are not so hilariously shocking. The difference is way to much, that's not just the tyres.
Look at it this way...Lol these are fun.

I'll see if I can calculate the braking distance tomorrow. But it doesn't look good. Maybe brand new pads or something?To be fair I think the Urus is on carbon ceramics
Doesn't stop CT from having a larger brake setup in those huge 35".Look at it this way...
At 70mph, the Urus (4850#) is carrying 1.077 MJ of kinetic energy. The CT (6843#) is riding a whopping 1.519 MJ of energy. ~50% more energy to get stopped from 70mph. That ain't nothing to sneeze at. Yep, gonna take a whooooole lot more than just the tires to stop in the same or even comparable distance. And just for fun, I looked at how much heat we are looking at dissipating.. The CT rocks in at 1439.3 BTU.
How about the difference being 1000 kg ? One third more weight, I think the result is great.Lol these are fun.

Regen has absolutely no effect on braking distance unless the brakes are woefully undersized.Doesn't stop CT from having a larger brake setup in those huge 35".
Plus regen should be able to nearly handle the difference by itself. Lambo is ICE with no regen. At 2sec from 70mph that's only 750kW total.
That's what Tesla is selling, but it's not what I'm buying.This is what the Cyberbeast is for. It's a supercar in a truck body. If that's what you want, why talk about towing and range. BTW, range on that Lambo is only 277mi.
Am I going to have to school you on tires and brakes too? Not to mention the 50% more mass? Mud terrain tires will never beat dedicated street performance tires, no matter how strong the brakes.Lol these are fun.
