Watch The Nio EP9 Whirr Its Way Around The Nurburgring
We’re used to watching Nurburgring laps that are accompanied with lots of internally combusted, angry noise, so this particular video is quite a weird one to watch. It shows the 1341bhp Nio EP9 whirring its way around the Nurburgring, clocking the electric vehicle lap record in the process.
The magic figure was 7min 5.16sec, and since bagging the record last year, the NextEV sub-brand has added to its achievements with both the electric vehicle and autonomous vehicle lap records at Circuit of the Americas.
If you think the Nurburgring lap video looks quick, it’s worth bearing in mind that to prevent its batteries overheating, the car wasn’t run at full power during any part of the lap.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

My Renault does it in 8’08’’. Not that impressive I reckon, very fast indeed for an EV car, but not spectacular as compared to conventional sports cars
True, but EVs have problems with not overheating and having enough battery.
That noise hurts my ears…
That was Electri-Fying
he missed the carousel…
