The electric GMC Hummer EV is so powerful it can pop wheelies
Fox News
GMC Hummer EV chief engineer Al Oppenheiser has revealed that the 1,000 hp GMC Hummer EV is so powerful that it could pop a wheelie during acceleration if it wasn't programmed not to.
The Hummer EV has a performance mode called Watts to Freeedom, or WTF, that optimizes it for acceleration and programs the adaptive air suspension to transfer the weight of the all-wheel-drive truck to the rear to improve traction on take-off, as its three electric motors deliver 1,200 lb-ft of torque to the tires.
President Biden demonstrated WTF during a visit to GM's Factory Zero by accelerating to 60 mph in about three seconds with GM CEO Mary Barra in the back seat.
Oppenheiser said that they had to dial back the power on the production versions to prevent the wheelies for safety reasons, but that it could be tuned to do it again.
