Well, I won’t blame you if you’ve never even heard of it, I mean, seriously, what kind of name for a car is “NIO EP9”? They should call it Voltron or something cooler, because this 1,341bhp (not a typo) electric car from China has just broken the Nurburgring lap-record for electric-cars.
It looks fantastic too, and just look at it go! They have to manufacture a better sound though… I doubt the tagline “World’s fastest vacuum-cleaner” is gonna sit very well with its creators…
“The video from NextEV, the Chinese company behind the 1,341bhp Nio EP9 electric supercar, shows it taking on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The company claims a new electric car lap record of 7:05:120, blitzing the previous record of 7:22.329…” – Sunday Times Driving.
