1360PS Nio EP9 Autonomous Supercar Introduction and Record Lap
21A few months after setting an electric vehicle lap record at the Nurburgring, the NextEV NIO EP9 has become the fastest self-driving vehicle to ever lap the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Texas.
What’s more, the EP9 also lapped the circuit faster than any other production car when a driver jumped behind the wheel.
To showcase its advanced autonomous technologies, NIO sent the EP9 around the Formula One circuit in just 2 minutes and 40.33 seconds where a 160 mph (257 km/h) top speed was reached along the straight. When a professional driver took control, he set a lap time of 2 min 11.30 sec and reached 170 mph (273 km/h).
Aiding in these impressive lap times is the vehicle’s incredible powertrain. It utilizes four high-performance inboard motors and four individual gearboxes to deliver a total of 1360 PS (1,342 hp), equivalent to one megawatt of power. This allows the EP9 to accelerate from a standstill to 124 mph (200 km/h) in a mere 7.1 seconds and onto a 194 mph (312 km/h) top speed.
