Peugeot EX1 record to Nrburgring

The electric car continues to make progress and trying to shake off the image of car chosen mainly for cost and reduced emissions and does so by focusing on performance. So no surprise the news coming from Germany, the Nürburgring to be precise, where the electric concept car Peugeot EX1 has set a new record for its category, covering a lap in 9'01 "338.

The French car thus exceeded the record of 50 seconds recorded by the Mini E on the same path, ie 9'51'45'', and is currently the fastest electric car, capable of reaching an average of 138.3 km / h thanks to its engine capable of delivering 340 hp and maximum torque of 480 Nm at the head of the French sports was Stéphane Caillet, a men's technical director of Peugeot - Citroën, while the company needed two days of preparation took place at the research center of Peugeot Montbéliard, where the roadster was developed down to the smallest detail to enable it to deliver on the German circuit to its full potential, which contradict those who argue that electric cars are slow and poorly adapted to give a some driving pleasure.
