Thinking about the times i realized the VW electric car beat the fastest ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle ever on the track by 5 seconds, the only car faster than it has both a ICE motor and a electric motor (hybrid)

6:11.13  Porsche 956  Stefan Bellof  28 May 1983 he got this  racing, in the qualifying rounds...
6:05.336 the speed if the New VW EV.
So the first serious attempt of  a electric race car and on the toughest track in the world on its first attempt beats the best time of a ICE  by 5 sec's...
The car wasn't even built for this track , it was made to race on Pike's peak  and was modified to do Nürburgring

It looks like it was even having problems , slowing down .. Wink

As it's been said , EV's are still just starting to get fast and Batteries look to be the main hinderance with weight and overheating.... so as these are addressed expect exciting times in racing.... Wink









30 years improvement in aero, tyres and suspension.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Yeah it's amazing that no ICE vehicle has gone any faster than the one in the 80's considering 30 years of improvements... Wink
