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.
