I wish they would add a speedometer.
And g meter
And Duracell bateries.
Go faster stripes?
Those only help if you don't have red brake calipers already.
Cloxxki I see. So they don't cancel each other out.
Guys, without telemetry I feel like I'm blind!!!
apart from the lap time it would have been wonderful if the speedometer was also overlaid on screen to get an estimate of the car's acceleration, top speed, braking performance.
I imagine the top-speed is not as high as others that have been on the track and would distract you from the real advantage which is higher speeds through corners, and for same reason it won't break as much driving into the corners.
kavinho it's 313 km/h and that is enough for most tracks with corners
why bother writing any of that is false fuckhead stfu
They probably trying to hide their information... bet they won't share their modifications either... cause I know they are using some type of stock batteries that anyone can buy, but without amp #s, cooling tech, energy deliverance systems, etc can't really mod to these specs.

For those complaining about the car sounds, remeber that this is the beginning of something new and exciting.
You should remember that the four stroke engine had it's first experiments made in 1862 and they are still evolving dramatically todays, what you are beholding here is the birth of a new generation of sports cars. One day they will sound better, perform even better than this and run alot longer and we wont look back in the same way we don't look back to Benz Patent-Motorwagen
I'm an engineer and a huge petrolhead but NIO made me excited towards electric vehicles again in a way Tesla didn't.
If youre an engineer, you know they will never sound much different. Unless you do artificial sound generation (like some abominations use already). I rather listen to this (or turn my music louder (if it doesnt suck my battery dry - I like 2 KW stereos)) than listen to some computer generated crap that tries to sound like a V8 or V12.
Hi CarTrips, i'm aware of that and i agree with you...
Perhaps we get better sounds from more powerful motors in the future since the trend is to get more capable power sources such as batteries. More powerful motors generate higher magnectic inductance sounds. I bet some gearheads will get some crazy performance shop built cars sounding like 747's in highways and doing illegal racing, exploding tyres... Believe me, there are ways to get more sound outa them, not sure it will be a pleasing sound but it can and will get louder at some point ;)
Yes, higher RPMs, different frequency, whatever. We know that already from transmissions, turbos and superchargers. They never sound much different. There will never be such a huge range of different sounds than we have on conventional cars, which then can also be modified by changing exhaust designs or even something as simple as a different air filter or a BOV. Those all have their important function. A speaker connected to a sound generator does not.
And you can make tires explode on any Tesla already, if you disable its traction/launch control.
Well, grab a beer and wait for this bright future to arrive *OR* lets enjoy going out doing some silly nonsense with our dying combustion dinossaurs while we still have them... we will be the last generations to have true enthusiasm and going to jail for that
I just tried to put your allegation about sound in context. I will be the first to embrace a new technology that can completely replace combustion engines and their fuel source, when its far superior.
A while back, I produced a documentary about electric cars. Being a lifelong Shelby and Harley guy, at first I was skeptical about the outcome. I was totally blown away by the technology, etc. and in fact, am now a hardcore fan of electric cars. The NIO EP9 performance in this video and the awesome e-Bikes at The Isle of Man race are hopefully indicative of great things to come.
Exceedingly impressive. Congratulations!
What were the tyres?
"The NIO EP9 set the record on bespoke tyres designed specifically for the record attempt to deal with the car's significant downforce levels"
from www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/nextev-2016-electric-hypercar-revealed/
the record probably won't hold too long
Sounds like its running on slicks
+Harold MacMahon I think its a lap record in the electric class, and not the street legal class. This car isn't road legal anyways.
i just looked it up and this car is streetlegal, and it now holds the record, sorry petrolheads :)
I just looked it up and you are clueless, sorry. On slicks, and not road legal.

α чσung lσnєr I know it’s a joke
well that escalated quickly
well that accelerated quickly
Well, that accelerated instantaneously.
One may even say that it was a SHOCKing development...
last year's movie is very artistic and this new one shows the full course of the circuit, both are great!!!
The Future is coming!!
Antes tarde, do que mais tarde ainda!!
That day when electro is faster than fuel...
That would be really sad... But stefan bellof drove a 6:11.13 in a porsche 956.007 in 1983.
So fuel is faster than electric until now. Also the NIO EP9 is NOT a production car
Okay, you are right. Maybe the NIO will be a production car in future, and one day in future there will be an electro car which is also faster than bellof. :D
spider2MW to be a production car they have to produce at least 25 identical cars within 12months and as much as i know they produced 6 and are planning on 10 more ^^ but i also think one day there will definetly be a car faster than bellof in the 956 👍 😊
spider2MW grad gemerkt das du auch deutsch bist 😅 hast n paar coole uploads und n abonnenten mehr! ;)
Of course. :D :)
I like the sound of this car. Fight me.
Wow,unbelievable! China
Stop with the flooding of comments you government paid losers.
@@dreem1walker It was made by British engineers, china just contracted them.

I LOVE the electric car sound! OMG (and I drive a Lotus daily)
Have you seen the guys who put a Tesla motor in an Evora?
No wonder, i would have constant headache from that 4 banger sound.
you must be a real driver... LOTUS ... omg
@Raghav Varma it's a different thing
It was a pleasure watching your driver do what drivers are supposed to do. >:) tell him job well done. It was fun to watch him.
that motor was made by the same manufacturer of CRH train, the Chinese highspeed train... which runs 350km/hr, which is the fastest operating train on this planet. I know that you will say Japanese bluh. Check wiki yourself, Japanese never put it on real road, which means they are only for testing.
the one in shanghai to the airport is faster than that...
@@youbetu18 but that's maglev. Different tech
@@LaowaiDaveJCP yea for sure, but its a train no? he said "which is the fastest operating train on this planet". which It isnt, Maglev is quicker.
This is awesome! Some minor tweaks on the torque vectoring and I can imagine that on a sunny day when the track temperatures are a bit higher the EP9 can achieve even faster times.
Which tires did you guys use that day?
They used a custom racing tire, not the stock road tire.
Hotter temperatures don't mean faster laps. In fact its the other way around, at least to a point. You will always be faster when the track temperature is 20 degrees than when the track temperature is 30 degrees. That's pretty basic knowledge. When you are getting close to 0 degrees, then it obviously changes.
Celsius ?
derherberter ah yes, absolute zero. a friend I know well
Awesome guys, congratulations, I second the speedo comment...
Perfect sound
We have an eCar and its acceleration for normal daily driving is crazy, no waiting for RPMs to get into power band, just instant acceleration with almost zero noise. The frustration we see on the Porsche, Hellcat, Ferrari owners is worth the every penny of an eCar. But the most liberating aspect of an eCar is we never have to care or think about gas/oil prices ever again. Our home is solar so we charge for free and most charge stations are free and everywhere ... fast charge takes 20 minutes to full. Tesla are talking about making eCars with 1200-1700 equivalent HP and driving range in the order 1000mi. The Dino car days are numbered.
Rob Ainscough There's no way you're generating enough electricity at home to charge an electric car for free if you use it daily, even if you had sunlight 24/7 shining on your panels angled perfectly at the sun and only used the electricity to charge your car.
You'd need around 20 big panels to charge your car "for free", since the panels aren't cheap and they don't last forever. If you rely on batteries to store that energy, you'd need alot of them and they're expensive af. That "free" setup costs a lot of money and a lot of CO2 will be produced during the manufacturing of said panels and batteries.
And looking at that 20min charge comment. You'd need a lot more than 20 panels. Something like 60-80 panels to produce that much wattage. Using batteries you'd have major issues getting that amperage out of them. I'm all for eCars/bikes, but I smell bs.
Our house solar system consists of 21 X 300 Watt panels, we produce 4000-6000 watts hours continuous for about 8-12 hours a day (season pending and weather pending). Our EV consumes on a full charge from 10% state (5 hours on "normal" rate charge) uses about 30,000 watts over the 5 hours charge period. Our house is producing anywhere from worst case of 32,000 watts per day to best case of 72,000 watts per day. So average is 52,000 watts per day, more than enough to charge our EV (which BTW, we only need to charge every 2-3 days) with plenty left over for house AC, and more.
Rob Ainscough dead investment while charging. autonomy ridiculous vs a 5 min. refill poor batt. life. finally i can also ruin a set of tires in 10000miles.. so what! But each time i accelerate i don't loose sev..miles of autonomx
Philippe Suter If you have a 1000hp car dont expect the fuel to go slowly when you make it go to the top speed. a 1000hp car also have a high fuel consumption, unless you discovered a way to create energy from pure thought. if you found it, please told me.
What's so good about zero noise? The noise is the GOOD THING! That's what separates these soulless e cars from a Ferrari Enzo! There IS no competition!
Damn those revs without shifts makes me bite down hard and not breathe. Wheeewww
I love the sound.....
6:11 is still record for non street legal vehicles on slick, actual class for this one...
Competition and non-road legal are different classes in terms of nurburgring lap times. Also, the length of the track has changed during the years, so for the current 20.6km layout, this is the fastest one without questions.
Yes, that record was set by the late Stefan Bellof 28 May 1983 in a Porsche 956 race car
The track only got quicker, than it was back then. Also the 956 used much older tires which aren´t as high developed as the current ones.
Who was driving?
Unbelievable how stable this cars is!
How many rounds can the car make with one battery fill?
Probably not much more than the one we saw.
Who ever wants to come close to this lap time has to make several practice rounds on the track, which is really complex and tedious to learn.
And then you wait hours between each take for the battery to load...?
This car has 4 electric motors which are installed with 4 wheels each. That means each wheel can separately control its rotation rate, making the car have the ability to pass the curve faster than traditional car. You can find out such phenomenon during some deep curve. No understeering, neither oversteering. That's why electric car (or Hybrid car) have more potential to break the records set by traditional fuel engine car. Sorry for my poor English, but that's the best I can do to explain.
內行！
but can it do multiple laps with less pits stops than the IC engine.
And the tyres will get destroyed More quickly because of the instant torque.
And the battery is going to get heated.
Sheikh Abeer eventually it probably will because batteries are in early stages atm
you are totally right it will take time but think about the middle east and other countries where temperatures are really high
Are you feeling it now?
/watch?v=MGW8rn8Ko_o
Abeer Sheikh
They have done plenty od laps here but had issues on overheating..
But they were able to solve it, thus the new world record
"tyres will get destroyed More quickly because of the instant torque" that claim holds no facts behind it.
I wonder what if the tajima rimac e-runner can race here. That will be a piece of cake for the car and the driver to set a new record in the track. That car has 1.1MW output and the grip exceed 3g.
Very impressive. Now provide a speedometer, tachometer and gear shifts please.
ckaz007 electric car has no transmission
I hope you are joking
formula e's electric race car has transmissions
ckaz007 electric cars have no gears
NIO ♥️
Would be nice if the video had the speed.
How long does a Full charge of the Battery last in this car?? It's so fast and it makes you wonder how long and far this car can go on a Full Charge?? Anyone know?? This car is pretty amazing.
Max range is around 265 miles for one charge.
BSPBuilder wow! Really? That really good. It seemed to have no problem ripping around the ring at full blast and didn't seem to lose its charge. It's crazy how they don't develop the technology more and make all cars electric.
Sorry but I think the 265 mile range is for "normal" driving pattern. If you drive like the one in the video, the range will be reduced a lot. Just my 2 cents.
About 15mins safely to get a full battery. Battery Swap but currently manualy by technicians. The process can be improved much quicker. The two battery packs are just attached to the sides easily accessible.
@NIO you guys should take this beast to pikes peak.
Electric already dominates pikes peak. At least for motorcycles. The I.C.E. is melting.
People keep talking about China.....This was / is an engineering feat that was only accomplished through a multi-national conglomerate. China supplied the funding.......The lead on the project was an American with a whole host of other brilliant minds.....This is but one fine example of what can be accomplished with an open checkbook, open mind, and open boarders.
Amazing car to be up there with the mighty Zonda R. This is what we need from electric cars. Outstanding track performance and freakin spaceship noises. Eco friendliness and gimmicky acceleration options like ludicrous mode aren't important. Now all that's needed is a revolution in battery technology.
Beautiful!

That acceleration. That sound.
What does an electron sound like anyway?
Amazing . High performance brushless motor?
As an electrical engineer, I find hard to trust a company that gives so much partial and obscure data about their cars. There is a lot of important data lacking on your website.
China knows better than anyone how trade secrets can, and will be acquired by those with a vested interest. They will try not to make the same mistake the rest of the world did, in order to gain a "Cheap Labor" short sighted financial advantage.
All peoples have been using good ideas from others' since the dawn of civilisation. With the complex intellectual property laws and its abuses today, Chinese companies have a very realistic expectation of industrial espionage. They have done this for so long, it will come a day when they are on the losing side of this dynamic. But you can bet they won't complain, rather will play along. Chinese companies abuse each other as much as foreign companies. Conduct of business over there will seem enigmatic to outsiders, even other Asian nations.

damn that ghost car, i could never catch it. wait...
same lol
Damn this is cool. So when will it be available on aliexpress?
The world record is 6 min 11 s 13 by Stefan Bellof with a Porsche 956.
Bullshit Stefan Bellof drove the fastest time until now (6:11,13 minutes) with the Porsche 956
AwesomeGamingZone bullshit, he drives a shorter circuit
He didn´t.
Actually it WAS 1.3 MILES shorter: www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/classic-cars/news/a32791/nurburgring-record-stefan-belof-porsche-956/ - also the Porsche used was NOT a production road car.
They set the record for the Electric car lap and the production car lap, that dude was in a group C beast with a 1.13 mile shorter circuit
Oskarooni The Nordschleife didn´t changed it´s layout since 1983 and only got faster with the new repavement. BTW The NIO isn´t considered a production car, since there are not enough models built and it ran on slicks.
actually the lap record is 6:11.13 from stefan bellof...
Simply amazing ride
~~The day the Fossils died~~
Nice slick tires.
I love this car. _Bravo!_
When does it go on sale?
And do you accept monthly payments for the duration of 30 years? 😋
i dont think this car is a production car, i could be wrong though
I don't think 30 years would cover it either
16 of 'em. 6 supposedly already exist. Another 10 will be made and sold for roughly 1.5 million bucks each.
@ in4theride75 true tho. I need to move up in the world a bit more then... xD
made in china... in the meantime, tesla never manages to finish a lap due to overheat
Anonymous Anonimity heat management is going to and always be a problem for BEV. The penalty of loss efficiency for higher power is far greater than ICE propulsion or fuel cell vehicle.
tesla models S and X are everyday luxury cars, not supercars. tesla allows the motors to go over the top and overheat the batteries because the wow factor sells more cars, but that doesn't make them racecars.
Lap Record is 6:11.13 stefan bellof
why they didn't show the speed, because basing on it we can say if it's fake or real !
ur fake
Can't you search it yourself if its real?
Damn that one is really quick :)
Still not faster than Stefan Bellof.
To think that 6.11 was achieved over 30 years ago with a 2.5L engine and 6.45 is considered a lap record! WTF? I've done 6.13 (I think) in Gran Turismo in the Peugeot HDi FAP LeMans car detuned to 650PP and the idea of doing it in a real car is absolutely insane. The risk of flying off the track braking so hard or more likely not quite enough just shows you how fearless, yet focused these guys really are. Maybe Stefan, like Ayrton was a little too fearless? It reminds me of a documentary about a young troop of monkeys and when the most intelligent, fearless and daring one eventually pushed his luck too far and lost his grip jumping for a branch, breaking his back on the ground. Evolution punishes the bravest risk takers among us and rewards caution and moderation but unfortunately, that doesn't set unbroken records.
Дмитрий Блудов
It was shorter circuit
you're not really that stupid are you?
Yeah the Nio circuit was shorter (20.600km) then the circuit bellof raced on (20.832km)
Any idea what the top speed was, by any chance?
Hello my friend Larrimore it is known that the NIO EP9 can reach 313 Km/H (194,4miles). I'm glad if I helped you have a nice day.
speed: achieved
now it's time to do something with the noise. Cuz when you listen engine, it's like music, when you listen electric whistling, it's like trolleybus on a steroids.
ahahaha true XD
Get used to it! You will love that sound in the future. ;)
when you experience the sound like a jet, and hear the road noise beneath you, and the wind -then
you'll be catching up. Welcome to the 21st century.
one day we will have forgotten the old sound of combustion motors
I dunno, I kinda liked the sound. Granted, nowhere near as exciting as that of an internal combustion engine, but still, not bad for an electric motor.
7,1 auf 200.... Selbe Niveau wie meine RR. Respekt
sound of the future
Don't want to break something here but *THE OFFICIAL NURBURGRING RECORD IS 6 min 11 sec 13 cent*... you were more than a half minute slower.
The car is fast, but on the Nürburgring, even more than other tracks, the driver makes a huge difference. I noticed that this driver's line was extremely efficient, and in a couple of places rather unconventional. He clearly knows the track very well, and is extremely competent. Anybody know who it was?
Peter Dumbreck. He also knows, how to fly with a car.
Very impressive, but boring, soulless, and a bit dead. I admire it like I admire an Intel Xeon.
For a no rules, price no object car the lap time is not that exceptional. It's 2 seconds (on a 400 second lap) off a decade old £140,000 Radical on real road tyres, and half a minute slower than the 35 year old Porsche 916, and 20 seconds slower than the low powered, regulation strangulated GT3 cars that run in the VLN (such as the BMW Z4). On slicks, the NIO is pretty much a time attack/hillclimb car. After the track modifications over the winter (especially at Flugplatz) the ring is faster this year than it has been for a long time, the NIO is one of the first to take advantage of this.
Even if it did a 5 minute lap, to me it's about the feels, the butterflies in the stomach, the smells, the sounds, I haven't driven one but the NIO, and most other EV cars seem to produce less of these. A Boeing 737 is 5 times faster than a gearbox Kart, but I know which one is more exciting...
I applaud the "progress" and look forward to more EV everyday road cars, but I wish they would hurry up and come up with an environmentally acceptable combustible fuel! Give me a fire breathing featherweight, give me a gear stick, downshifts and overun, give me smells, give me feels, give me ear splittingly loud intoxicating noises!
Omeed Alikhanizadeh Yes I'm sure the same types who drove the old Bugatti's and Alpha's said the same thing about hand cranks, hand adjusted spark advance, hand operated oil transfer pumps, choke, fuel primer, required mechanic in the passenger seat, cable brakes, wood spoke wheels, straight cut gears, back fire valves, 10 and 14L engines, open bottom engines that just drained oil down onto the ground and suspension system, springs made out of straight pieces of metal and open wind screens. Gimmie muh feels of oil and smoke in my face, the smell of BO from my mechanic, and risk of breaking a bone on every start!
And I'm sure the horse racers before them said similar things about literal horse shit. Gimmie muh horse shit covered streets!!!
Reminds me of my grandad, who wouldn't want any car that didn't shake and rattle like his old Lada...
+Omeed Alikhanizadeh How can you say that when you haven't even driven the car? You see the tangible aren't what makes cars fun but the intangible, that is its personality. Yes, sounds and smells are one of it but it can get boring once you have driven the car over and over again. The only reason sounds and smells are pleasing is because of the human brain, without it, they are nothing special. Nevertheless, I still love cars that have a rear-wheel drive transmission with a naturally-aspirated V8, V10, or V12 engine.
Can’t wait for the 2018 endurance race
Why?
So boring

don't worry v10 noise only competition will still be available on your slow, noisy, unstable internal combustion engine in thr future
Peter Robann Sobrepena let people enjoy things
Someone needs to update Wikipedia Nordschleife lap times
disgusting engine noise

That's like a jet engine sound and you are still stock to turbo engine props
It's motor fucking idiot
When I close my eyes and just listen, it sounds more like a vacuum cleaner than a car.
If Nio EP9 has another higher gear McLaren P1 will be left far behind as the P1 only catches in this area. @6:11 on this video
If it has another higher gear, McLaren P1 will be 5 secs away..
If you pay attention it actually sounds like those flying cars you see in sci-fi, futuristic films. The future is here
redscorpio the future is always in the future
amazing.. the time has come i guess...
Omg, did not expect faster time as petrol so quick. What an achievement! Tesla is overheating in 3km. ;)
DaDo Bzz faster is relative when a manufacturer can throw special tires on their car and get different results. This thing beat no records btw, it doesn't actually fit into any class so the only record they beat was their own previous record and that's not impressive at all. That's just progress. I'd like to see one do 2 laps back to back.
Racing tires? Or stock?
James McClellan slicks
ZBxPS 4xLIFE well of course that time is going to be that low. People don't realize how much stickier Slicks are. SMH. Needs stock summer tires.
adding turn signals lights etc is an easy fix to make it street legal probably more to to do with safety concerns in the way the car is designed and built
Could've been interesting to have been able to see Stefan Bellofs 6:11,13 onboard.
The internal combustion engine had a glorious 100 year plus reign as king, but, it is time to move aside, and let the new king ascend the Thrown.
least this one has a fairly nice sounds for my liking, also as others said, I also wished for speedometer, g meter and rpm rate
That is one quick electric shaver.
i'll never look a batteries the same again...
congrat!
That's an average speed of 114 miles per hour :O
This is like a scaled up Traxxas XO-1.
Funny to think the GT2RS was only like 2 seconds slower, and it was official for a road production car on road tires :)))
Insane acceleration anyways.
:48 sec and 1:08, those corners arent very banked. You can easily lose it there, he kept great speed through both!
Speedometer please..!
I will buy one or two
Why is the lap not timed over the same distance as others? The clock starts 3 -4 seconds earlier than it does with other laptime videos....why claim a slower lap time???
sandbaggin' :p
the line is actually right after the right turn. You can see it in the video or even on Google Maps if you want to take a look at it.
I know where the line is that the clock stops at, the point I am making is they do not start the clock at the usual place, which is at the end of the pits. Look at all the other videos, they are distinctly different.
Вместо секунд лучше бы спидометр показали...
Isn't the record 6 minutes and 11 seconds set by a in the 80s
im glad it makes some noise ya know. sounds like a superbike or something
It does electrisize me!!!
what a ride 😎👌 #TOP #NIO
Seems like this could have been a lot faster. He takes the carousel on the top side for example. 4:00 I can't imagine that being quicker than taking the inside.
But yeah, I'm not a race car driver, I just drive Forza :')
i wish they show the speed
a lot has to do with the driver, I can see on the list the LP770-SVJ with driver Marco Mapelli beat this by almost exactly a second.
porsche gt2rs a mainstream supercar with half the hp did it in 6:47 secs only 2 secs slower than this unicorn of a car, electric cars may be the future but it take another 2 decades for now Porsches and McLaren reign supreme
Love it....sounds like a turbine...and it’s smooth and very fast
