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.
