Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) has set a new lap record for an electric vehicle (EV) at the legendary 20.8km Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany.
The TMG EV P001, with 100% electric powertrain and Jochen Krumbach at the wheel, set a new lap record of 7mins 47.794secs to beat the previous lap record, which stood at 9mins 1.338secs, by a very substantial margin.
Using two electric motors, the TMG electric powertrain has a top speed of 260km/h which combined with 800Nm of torque to achieve impressive speeds on the extremely challenging Nordschleife track, which includes significant elevation changes and lengthy flat-out sections.

  • silence is the sound of pure power

  • Is this the same car that FuriousPete rode in?

  • @mobyfab Well I did not know that, how much cooler can it be eh? I love that noise.

  • @MrSlonya SR8, not SR3

  • @philonetic because it is one... modified by TMG.

  • this is scary...it's so quiet that you can hear the tires being ribbed off as the driver turned in.

    

  • That has to be the most depressing sound ever.

  • which the maximum speed mph?

  • They can always get the thrill back with 10kW amp and loudspeakers.
