NIO EP9這台電動超跑去年在紐柏林曾經寫下7:05的最快電動車記錄

當時天氣不佳，賽道潮濕

那時他們的團隊就曾說過要在冬天過後在今年天氣良好的狀況下再挑戰一次

而今天就刷新了紐柏林的最快紀錄

之前的記錄是由 Radical SR8LM 所保持的6:48.00

而現在NIO EP9這台電動超跑以6:45.90 打破了這個記錄

EP9造價大約148萬美金，目前總共打造了6台，分別由六位蔚來汽車的初始投資人所擁有

有消息說可能會在同樣的基礎上再打造10台對外出售

這次創紀錄的影片NIO計劃在一個星期內會公布

NIO’s EP9 EV beats every production car ever with a Nurburgring lap
record of 6:45:90

One by one, EVs are decimating records set by internal combustion engine
vehicles. NextEV’s $1.48 million electric supercar, the NIO EP9, has set
a new lap record around one of the world’s most famous and grueling
racetracks, the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The car managed a time of
6:45:90, which is the fastest lap ever set by an electric vehicle around
the track – and in fact is faster than any production vehicle, electric
or otherwise, beating the Lamborghini Huracan Performante by just over 6
seconds. This would be the fastest lap ever done by any production
vehicle – assuming we count the EP9 as a production vehicle. Currently,
NIO has built seven EP9s, and plans another production run of ten more
cars. While this is certainly a small number of units, other cars with
smaller production runs (and similarly-high prices, like the McLaren F1
XP5 prototype, of which 5 were built) have qualified as “production”
vehicles for these purposes, so the EP9 probably deserves the title.

The Nordschleife is a famously difficult track, often used as a benchmark
for overall vehicle performance due to its length and grueling nature.
The track is over 12 miles long through the German countryside and
includes high and low speed turns, varied road surfaces and lots of bumps
and hills.

Previously, the NIO EP9 had set a lap of 7:05:12 in suboptimal conditions
(a moist track surface), which was an electric vehicle record but fell
short of beating a handful of other street-legal gasoline-powered
vehicles – the Huracan, Aventador, and Porsche 918. It’s hard to state
what a big deal this is – the fact that an EV from a company with no
racing heritage, and indeed not even any automaking heritage, can manage
to beat cars from companies with a century of racing experience around
what is perhaps the toughest track in the world is incredibly impressive.
