The Volkswagen ID. R has obliterated the lap record for electric cars at the N rburgring with a time of 6m 05.3s at the hands of French racer Romain Dumas. The ID. R, which already holds the Pikes Peak hillclimb record, took over 40 seconds from the previous electric record of 6m 45.9s set by the NIO EP9 and went into second place on the all-time list of Nordschleife lap times behind only the incredible Porsche 919 and its ballistic 5m 19.6s run. "It"s a good lap time, we didn"t expect it," said Dumas.
