Well, why not, right? Volkswagen, having already broken the Pikes Peak record, now wants another one: it wants to become the fastest EV at the N rburgring. And it wants to become the fastest EV at the N rburgring soon we"re told the attempt will take place at some point in the summer of this year, 2019. "A lap record on the Nordschleife is a great accolade for any car, whether a race car or a production car," explains VW motorsports boss Sven Smeets. The team is gunning for Peter Dumbreck"s 2017 record-setting EV run, when he took the NIO EP9 and managed 6m 45.9s.
