LONDON–( BUSINESS WIRE )–Today, at a launch event at the Saatchi Gallery in London, UK, electrified car company NextEV unveiled its brand, NIO. This visionary electrical car brand will help users rediscover the ‘joyful lifestyle’ of car ownership by creating inspiring vehicles that produce superior spectacle, a fresh benchmark for aesthetic design and unique user practices.

Additionally, the company unveiled its electrified supercar, the NIO EP9, which has achieved a fresh lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschliefe. On October twelve th 2016, the EP9 lapped the 20.8km ‘Green Hell’ in 7m 05.12s, striking the previous EV lap record held, marking it out as the fastest electrified car in the world. Additionally, on November four th , it smashed the EV record at Circuit Paul Ricard in France, recording a time of 1m 52.78s, eclipsing the previous record of 2m 40s.

With four high-performance inboard motors and four individual gearboxes, the EP9 produces 1-MegaWatt of power, equivalent to 1,360PS. The EP9 accelerates from 0-200kph in 7.1 seconds and has a top speed of 313kph. With an interchangeable battery system, the EP9 is designed to be charged in forty five minutes and has a range of four hundred twenty seven kilometres.

The carbon cockpit and chassis embodies a fresh treatment to spectacle vehicle design to treat the physical requests of a car with 3G cornering capabilities, with added structural solidity and aero efficiency. The EP9 is capable of achieving 24,000 Newtons of downforce at 240kph.

The EP9 features a visionary integrated e-control structure and sensor system layout, which could fit the latest autonomous driving technology. Additionally, it utilises our intelligent, user-friendly interactional design concept, which provides a joyful practice for users with digital interaction and instant sharing.

NextEV Founder and Chairman, William Li, said: “Today we launched our electrified supercar that broke the record at the Nordschliefe. The NIO EP9 was born to shove thresholds and is the very first stage of automotive production for NIO. It is a statement of our vision and technical and manufacturing capabilities. It is a best-in-class product that showcases what is possible with electrical vehicles. We believe that when the car ownership practice exceeds expectations, electrified vehicles will become the natural choice for everyone, leading to a more sustainable tomorrow. And with that, our vision of a blue sky will come true.”

In a statement during the launch event, US CEO of NextEV, Padmasree Warrior, said, “In the past, cars gave people the freedom of mobility. In the future, cars will go one step further and give people the freedom of time. It’s a future we’re excited to form.”
