NIO EP9 Electric Supercar Breaks Nurburgring Lap Record - Full Onboard - 06:45:90
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2017
- The NIO EP9 all-electric supercar completed a lap of the Green Hell - the Nurburgring's formidable Nordschliefe configuration - in a record time of 06:45:90. Having previously set the electric vehicle lap record, the NIO EP9 shaved a further 19.22 seconds off that lap time. This makes the Chinese supercar not only the fastest electric vehicle around the historic circuit, but the fastest production car ever to take the challenge. Watch the full record-breaking Nurburgring onboard lap right here.

Great POV, but missing was a speed readout.
speed readout: fast as fuck
My 1st thought bud.
That, and the pilot's heartbeat.
Does it matter lol
@@garethstokoe8519 I suppose not. Prolly just read "fast AF" anyway.
So THAT's what I felt this morning...the earth shifting under the torque from that NIO EP9. Awesome achievement! The only downside of electric cars now is there's no IC engine noise to mask your passenger's screams of terror :)
The Nio EP9 is a Chinese electric sports car. It's so amazing how far chinese cars have come!! It's pretty wierd that many people don't know this is a Chinese supercar.
Don't worry, we know plenty of other things about China; slave labour, Communist regime and the fact that unsafe and unhealthy food handling practices caused covid and subsequently brought the entire planet to its knees. So excuse us if we didn't know about some silly little electric toy.

Seriously...what?!
This thing sounds like broken, squealing coffee grinder. With no coffee inside.
don't know what fighter jets sound like in China, but this thing sounds like my toy electric car from when I was 3 years old
Sounds like a toy, goes like a rocket
Sounds like kids remote control car
I love it.
He makes it look so easy! Thank you for posting the video. Such a smooth beautiful lap.
That is insane. Well done NIO. It looks like you can really focus on getting every corner perfect when you're not having to shift. They need more EVs in sim games (preferably the EP9) so I can have a go myself.
insane acceleration as you'd expect. can't wait to see more full electric hypercars.
Lucid Air (5 seater Sedan) & Ligtning LS218 (street legal comfortable superbike) both real world achieved over 215MPH. NIO EP9 is not even the top speed winner. Its the deadly track weapon.
@@Neojhun
You should've know Rimac, have you seen video about Pininfarina Battista?
@@HyperVanilo Rimac has never release real world proof of its V-Max. Lucid Air achieved 235.44mph at TRC Ohio Bowl. That is the massive problem. Yes i've know about the Battista since the project name PF0.
@@Neojhun Rimac finally debuted the car. They renamed it the Nevera, and they’ve actually tested it now. It broke the 1/4 mile record, the electric car top speed record, and the 0-62 mph street legal record.
@@Neojhun Acceleration and top speed is only part of what makes a car fast. F1 doesn't have the best acceleration and top speed but it would slaughter the cars you mentioned on track because of down force.
Any video of this with telemetry?
Big fail not to have it! I would like to know how fast the guy was...
Nuno Fernandes
Ikr? The map is on there so obviously somebody is logging the speed via gps, or somebody spent a hell of a long time matching that animation to his actual progress lol
That car is amazing!
and not only :-)
It did the FULL lap; unlike the LP. LP started about 300 meters after the official start/finish line; EP9 and Zonda R had bother raced for over 4 seconds to reach the very spot at which LP's time-count started.
In other words, had its time-count started at the same spot as LP's, it would have done a 6:41 lap.
It weighs around 1,8 tons. Imagine they could produce much lighter batteries. That thing would liftoff O_O
that's where the Formula E enters at. they're developing better engines and batteries also with some Tesla help.
pretty sure it would not only NOT lift off, but it would be stuck to the ground like nobody's business.
*cough* graphene batteries *cough*
I'm working on it!
@ Damian b Hell it's a lot more than a few race teams working on that problem. Billions of dollars are being poor into that research by many corporations from many different industries. Say you developed a battery that had say, 1.5 times the mass/energy ratio of current batteries. This still would not be good enough to make all electric cars ready for prime time whoever, every cell phone, laptop, or other portable electronics company would be salivating at the though of having 50% more energy. That is a patent worth owning.
The acceleration is just BRUTAL. I bet most of this time was made up in the short bursts of speed between corners...
Woaaaah that was so good to watch. Pure pleasure!
Another dinosaur living in the fossil fuels. Embrace the future mate!
Are you serious? It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. What a horrible noise.
@@dwikarahmansasmitaputra6921 That's quite noisy
Amazing!! truly be able to test the limits of racing now without having to worry about fuel and the massive amount of tech needed to upkeep engines.
Whoa! from the looks of the lap he could have gone even quicker. Impressive to say the least.
look at that acceleration
Thanks for showing the speed !
Thanks for the ride. In the future, I would really appreciate a speedometer reading throughout the lap.
accelerates like a bike, has the benefit of way better drag, downforce and much larger contact patches. supercars of the future.
Of the past
@@Spyker8921 Future.
@@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty Past.
@@Spyker8921 Future. Electric is the future for all cars, all trucks, anything on wheels. Fuel and diesel vehicles will inevitably be phased out by 2050. High speed rail will dominate transit inside and between major cities. It is our future.
@@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty No.
Wow, that was fast. The drum that unwinds the power cable must have become really hot!
The person handling that drum is also super tired
thats fantastic, by one minute in I even like the sound :)
That sound is incredible.
From 5:58 - 6:40 my heart was in my mouth. Great lap.
me too,
I dont think that record wil last long, the tech is coming along too quickly .
Yeah, lets hope it won't stand almost a decade like it did last time :)
Battery tech is advancing so quick, these are internal combustion engines final moments.
Well... yes and no. Battery energy density roughly speaking doubles every 10 years but 250Wh/kg is a long way behind 13,000Wh/kg, not that batteries need to equal fossil fuels thanks to all the other advantages. But still... you might have more than a few years to wait just yet.
Slakbury I think the best comparison is probably digital cameras vs film. They went from curiosity to niche product to early adopter all the while having significant disadvantages compared to film (lower resolution, slow to start up, more expensive). However they went mainstream before those issues were sorted because digital cameras were superior in other areas such as size, storage and ability to preview images. Once they beat film all film research has stopped whereas digital still progresses at a pace, the result is that digital now exceeds film in every dimension. For electric cars the massive advantages are simplification and ability to be refuelled everywhere which make it the natural companion of autonomous cars. On the energy density front electric vehicles, use energy around 3-4 times more efficiently and don't need a; multispeed transmission, clutch, propshaft, fuel system, exhaust, inlet, filter, 12v battery, 75% of the cooling system, 80% of the mass of the engine and all of the structures and fixtures to hold these things. Current estimation is that batteries only have to double in capacity before an electric drive train will be lighter at ranges equivalent to petrol. In practice they won't need to because most journeys are short and autonomous cars will get rid of the range anxiety problem
Sounds like good news to me.
wow, that was sooner then expected. We still have the 24hrs and and vln races to enjoy the ice sounds but damn this car sounds good too.
This is mental. Just incredible.
I love electric vehicles. Does that mean I don't know squat about cars?
I'm also a retired mechanic who had 15 professional certifications at one time and also built and raced drag and stock cars. I probably forgot more about cars than most youtubers will ever know.
Tim Sharpe eh forget about them they hate every thing and everyone, they even hate them selfs, 99% of them dont even own a car or heck even a car licence.
Vasja Majer when you electric fanbois stop talk shit then people wouldn't lash back, you guys always have to compare something Instead of enjoying and admiring a car for what it is, look at the Comment section you'll see for yourself
MushroomTip u know nothing about me, im a car fanboy first, i own a gas gazler and a hybrid.
You can look up present ASE certifications on their website. As for making shit up on the internet, Ryan does that all the time while fighting from coming out of the closet.
Awesome Tim! What else can you do? Lol
Hard to believe that the all time record is 6:11. Would have liked to see the in car video of that run.
Geez! This thing is an animal! It also looks good and sounds amazing!
Love of sound of the engines!
Daaaammmnnn. He went plaid speed 😳 I think if you crash at these speeds, you could not survive. The g force would be too great.
I'd be too scared to go that fast honestly 😬
That sound. Just makes me want to hear it go quicker and quicker.
Amazing driving sir man and machine at the limit brillant to watch very brave
So great sound!
This guy looks like he's on a sunday drive :D Quite a few seconds to be shaved off from that lap.
Riku Alatalo I wonder why he took the outside line on the carrousel? any technical reason?
Riku Alatalo under floor ground effects
simply because the car is so low and so many channel structure underneath. Not worth breaking those things
Junyan Liu I thought it might be something like that. Thanks.
It was a Friday drive though.
I always expect gear changes at high revs, the have to quickly remind myself that it's an electric car.
Some electric cars have 2 gears
wowwwww ... non ha tagliato le curve con la pendenza perdendo almeno 2/3 secondi .... davvero una bomba !!!
WOW
my eyes cant keep up
the sheer grip and braking is insane
To all the bugs that died makin this video
It was running slicks, which are extremely road legal tires. /s
engared as was the Zonda R, which held the record beforehand...
Peter Lee Except the Zonda R had about half the power to weight ratio, which still makes the electric one horribly inefficient.
half the power to weight ratio would actually make the zonda less efficient. You have it backwards. Power to weight means more is better. More power to the same amount of weight.
Nope Custom Semi Slicks that work in the Wet. It is the only set of tires available on the NIO EP9. The car's drive train is just too wierd to use most standard tires.
engared: Very legal
Imagine if this car had a 6-speed gearbox, it would sound like a V12 Formula 1 car !!!! .. And it's so fast, I can feel the torque just from watching it !! .. This is absolutely amazing !!!
Omg what just happened? .... Thanks for the fantastic video and kudos to the driver and his great skills, I think I'd die just sitting in the passenger seat!!
Now we know why Flash is so fast, he too is powered by electric.
This car doesn't hold the record for the fastest production car, because it isn't one. It's classed as a prototype, and therefore it's the second fastest prototype (Mclaren P1 LM being first with a 6,43). However the fastest production car has a 6,47 (Porsche 911 GT2 RS), and if this Nio will be released, it'll be the fastest production car... Unless there's something even faster...
I made this comments just so y'all know..
Honey Badger
Maclaren P1 is 6:47
That 6:43 isn't the entire strip short of what Nio does in 6:45
Well, porsche rolled out their GT3 """production""" car at Lemans to try and defeat all the McLaren F1s that had embarrassed them for two years straight. Porsche's car was not a production car, but they skimmed past the bare requirements, and never delivered it for non-company people to purchase. McLaren then created the GTR Longtail to defeat the race-only/tuner non-production porsches. So production arguments are pretty much only valid if a regulation body says it's valid.
Thing is tho the nio ran the lap on slicks whereas the gt2rs ran it on road tires. That would give the nio a good 10 second advantage at LEAST
@@mforkus4868 if you understood EV technology then you would know that special tires are a must with all competition EV's due to the _insane_ amount of torque they generate
Wow! Great driving, great engineering. The future is here.
@ABB Formula E Thanks for the video! Please put the record driver name into the video description. I am 100% sure he well deserves this! :)
I could just imagine them being off by one second and being like shit we have to wait 10 hours before we can do another attempt now!
Just swap batteries.
i would like to see speedmeter...
The gap is big and it also shows Their potential and future. Beautiful.
Amazing !
Sounds like my RC Car.
Btw i can charge this with my anker power bank?
That's the sound of future!
9K revolutions disgusting
9K revolutions Is your face
Link Zero a gasoline car with same spec would lap in under 6 min
Emmanuel Perrina ok where is that car? a buggati has more power then this so does koenegsegg
Jonathan Dittmar any race car
Nice one !
Oh, my goodness! That acceleration is really fast...
Try two laps
xslytitanx should be able to with the energy storage of the car
But not with temperatures or the lower power output you get when the battery runs lower.. He already has to back off (or the car turns down power automatically) at the end of any longer straight, and I would be amazed if this car could do another sub-7-minute lap directly afterwards (or at all on the same charge).
xslytitanx try one 6:45 lap with your car.
xslytitanx ...hah...right...?...try 24 hours...!!!...
You can just change out the battery. how many laps does a petrol car get?
Sounds like a high speed train running on the tarmac LOL
I quite enjoyed the sound☺
Congratulation!! NIO
Great,IT is MADE ＩＮ ＣＨＩＮＡ．
95% of what you used to read and type your comment was made in China but assembled somewhere else.
Made in china but designed by someone else.most things are made in china because Chinese people can work 1000 hrs for a penny.
pin2 rocks lol, like your brain is assembled by chinese
Try hire a nanny in China, she probably makes more than you do.
They are built in England but designed in China
I can't wait to see the tesla roadster on this track
Intresting project.
All is can see is insane driver skills...
Some say if your are not burning dinosaur juice it does not count. :)
Others would say burning dinosaur juice is unsustainable and obsolete.
Unlike an ICE car you have no choice. You can easily charge the EP9 with a fossil fuel generator. But more likely is financially beneficial to use large scale renewables. So it's a Win Win for the NIO.
Just making up some some accusation and whataboutism isn't very convincing. Also what's with the homophobia?
And you are certainly right my guy
Onur Y Some good Jeremy Clarkson speech here. Always makes me smile
thank you china, just thank you !!!!! xoxo
Fuck you, China.

that feeling... just after the curb. he puts the gaz and there is no delay... all the torque comes back right away... just watching make me smile already!!! :)
Love it
Now let Richard Hammond have a turn......
Maybe half turn
i love this sound 😂😍
Alvian Christian Is your face
Alvian Christian the sound you hear is just the gearbox
Not really, as each wheel IS the motor. There is no gearbox. No need for any gearing. What we hear is those motor/wheel...
Marc René Yvon it has 4 gearboxes one for each wheel
I'll check this... Tks.
Such a good pilot
Amazing
The sad party is that this road car is faster than a formula e car
List of cars faster than FE: Tesla Model S P100D, Rimac Concept_One, Rimac Concept_S, NIO EP9 and soon Lucid Air and Faraday Future FF91.
When an open wheel car is slower than a sedan, you're open wheel car is too slow. FE will come good eventually but until then it needs more work. Slicks would be a good start.
They are trailing behind the cutting edge tech to remain affordable for the teams and for their own costs. If they used experimental batteries and the best electronics available they could easily build a 150 kWh, 500 kW peak power under 900 kg race cars on slicks. While they would still be slower than Formula 1, they would be faster around a track than any of the cars I mentioned.
The Shad The reason why Formula E is slower is just political. If regular brands could make faster sedans than Formula E, you could imagine what a Formula 1 team would be capable of make with a electric powered motor.
Its not the right time to do it. F1 knows that electrics are not already appealing. They're waiting to be generalized and accepted by the public and when they feel its the right time to make the electric the top category, that would happen. Its a matter of public perception. ICEs are not more nor less exciting, that its all about formed intelectual concepts that were formed in our perception. we get used to the rush of speed with the sound of a ICE. if it was electric instead we would look into ICE with a very bad opinion.
Formula e had a patent for an all electric open wheel series so F1 going electric is actually illegal
this just proves more that electric cars are the future
Jon Not your future. You get to drive a Honda insight.
Holy fuck that is scary fast. Idgaf how little range it'll get I want one and I want to work for the geniuses behind it.
WOOOWWWWWW!!!! I'm speechless
Faster than Zonda R
More Horsepower, more downforce
The aventador svj beat this by a second despite weighing about the same and having 600 horsepower less and running on road legal tires
GT2 RS beat this by 5
...and in a matter of time another EV will beat this again. Like it or not, the combustion engine is the past. Electric motors have a vastly superior efficiency and power/weight ratio (not to mention being far more reliable!) so as energy storage continues to improve the combustion engine will continue to languish (as it should, being a serious driver of destruction to our planet!).
@@jeremyelectronic8613 yet they are joyless and much less engaging to drive still
@@jeremyelectronic8613 All the technology in motorsports has paved roads for technology in other areas. Including those that will save our planet. Combustion engine is not the largest polluter producer of green house gasses either. Just so you know.
@@ubergama30 clearly haven't driven/ridden an electric vehicle. They are extremely fun to ride, similar to fuel vehicles but with instant max torque
That car is fast for sure but the driver had full confidence around the entire course, brilliant drive.
This car have a beast of acceleration
Nice job! If a large family sedan (Tesla Model S) can beat many similar sized fossil cars in both drag races and around the ring, it was just a matter of time before someone made a proper EV sports car to beat them all.
Bjørn Nyland this is a supercar, barely in production, tailor made for the nurburgring. A BMW m sport is significantly better than a tesla model s
A record is a record. It's hard to swallow, right?
Bjørn Nyland fair play to them, they got the record however i still don't believe that electric cars are good enough yet, they still need more time
Yes, I agree. The range needs to be about the double as today's cars. And the charging speed must be faster. About 1000 km range and 10-15 minutes charging time from 20-80 % should be sufficient.
Bjørn Nyland Except Tesla is a piece of unreliable turd that can't even beat gasoline powered cars with half the power around tracks. The P100D can't even go around the ring in less than 8:30. That's pathetically slow for a 700hp car.
wait, this is a production car?
Yes. Chinese
Some cars are considered production with only 5 built, plus 5 more are being worked on now.
does that count as a "production cars"??
i don't know but in my opinion 10 units is too low to be called "production cars"
CMIIW
BlinkWhite its not! FIA rules state that there have to be at least 25 produced cars in 12 month to be called a production car. They build only 6 yet. So it isnt a production car and because of that its not a new record. Stefan bellof drove a 6:11.13 in 1983 in a porsche 956.007
Lmafo kids speaking outtta their asses.. FIA says that you need for SPORTS CARS to make 25 identical vehicle whitin 12 month period of time and they all need to be targeting normal sale to individual purchasers this rule came to life in 1968 becasue their were very much confusion around it.. Guinness had their own twist with 50cars before 2014 then after 2014 only 30cars for taking on records like barking-acceleration and top speed!!
excelente
The torque vectoring...the extreme aero...makes it almost violent to the body of the human inside. You can see how bad the surface is, when at high speed because of the force the car is slammed on the ground after any bump. The record from now on will always be in electric cars. Internal combustion engine just can't compete. The future is here.
You guys have a very loose definition of "production car".
So now that this car is for sale in china do you still think the definition is "loose"???
@@ghettodexter You do know you are replying after nearly two years. Doesn't matter whether the car is for sale it matters whether anybody is buying it.
@@uttamjeetsingh7451you make no point... What you are saying is that its not in production because nobody is buying it.... Do you know who has already preordered it? My point stand you you don't have one.
@@ghettodexter For a car that has been doing the rounds since like 3 years back and still be in preordering stages is pretty ridiculous. Tesla came, sold cars and established a market before Nio while Nio is still in preordering stages.
@@uttamjeetsingh7451 the fucking model 3 is still in per-ordreing stages. lmfao
kudos to this but i wouldnt call this a true record because its not a real production car. and i heard they used slick tyres.
All production car records on Nurburgring have used slick tires. It is a real production car in that they have or have plans to produce 14 of them, and will possibly do another run after that -- are you saying the record won't count until they reach a certain number of models produced? 25? 50? what's the number?
is 14 cars planned defined as "mass produced " to you? what's the lower limit? two cars produced equals mass produced? the porsche 918 set its record with the tyres it comes out of the dealership with. and they made more than 900 of them.
Alonso V
So my 1998 Mercury Mystique on slicks is no longer a production car? It's a ford mondeo lol
Alonso V the Porsche comes with road slicks. You can buy them on special order for any car you wish. In that case, the company itself paid for special tires much like all other cars that break 200 mph.
MASSIVE COOL 👍
Sound like the diff or trans that we hear?.
I would love to see some specs!!! Keep up the good work guys 🍻
How is this considered a production car. I only know of 16 units made.
M2orNot Car was produced => it's a production car! just as easy as that ... ;)
Wow. I definitely didn't see that coming. By your standards of production, the Porsche 962 is more of a production car since there's more than 91 units of that. And it also happens to be track only. And it is faster around there. Sorry mate, but this is not road legal and it is certainly not production.
Quite sure a series of near identical 16 units is by definition production. I doubt NIO is building that many.
M2orNot taste the irony
It is street legal. And who cares how many was made? I bet if you contacted NIO and told them you need one or 5000 of them, they would probably build them for you.
common china W
impressive how this thing stays on the road at that speed
That was fast, and to top it of i only hear 3 instances of Tyre screech. crazy car, crazy driver.
change title 6:11:13 stefan bellof 1983 is the lap record not this peasant time

Dominic Hammel No it hasn’t!

That track i believe was shortened in that time of 6:11
Jips
Owing to construction of the the track's Grand Prix circuit, a bypass was added to the Nordschleife in 1983, shortening the track from 14.2 miles to 12.9 miles. As a result, the 1983 Nurburgring 1000km was held on the 12.9-mile Nordschleife, marking the only time top-level Le Mans cars raced on this configuration.www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/classic-cars/news/a32791/nurburgring-record-stefan-belof-porsche-956/

Torque on this looks crazy!! Sounds weird not having gear changes. Engine/motor seems to be screaming for a gear change
amazing
But but ... electric cars aren't any good on a race track. All the petrol heads told me that electric cars would never be fast around the Nurburgring!

Dili Bouille Whats the point in that future u can't drive a single one of them.Electric may be, but autonomous no way..
Hybrid is the present and EVs is the future. Climate change is a fact.
