#Nio’s 1 #megawatt EP9 smash the Nürburgring #electric vehicle lap #record
It sounds like a TIE Fighter.
You may remember late last year that the Nio EP9 set a #new EV record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, lapping the 12.9-mile (20.7km) track in 7:05.12.
The man behind the wheel was #Peter #Dumbreck, who holds the distinction of being one of two people who have flipped a #Mercedes endurance racer at Le Man,Dumbreck has a much #calmer time in the EP9, which looks to be extremely stable from the onboard video.
The #EP9 hasn't just been fast at the Nordschleife. The car also set a new EV lap record at #Paul #Ricard in the south of #France, and in February it set an autonomous lap record of the Circuit of the #Americas in Austin, Texas. On that day, the driverless EP9 lapped COTA in 2:40.33, #hitting 160mph. For context, the same car but with a human in charge lapped the track with a 2:11:30.
Nio plans to launch an autonomous EV in the US by 2020.
