Electric Car Speed Record at Nordschleife by Toyota

Toyota’s TMG EV P001 just became the first electric car to shatter the 8-minute barrier at the Nurbirgring racetrack in Germany, with a blazing new time of 7 minutes and 47.794 seconds. Toyota Motorsport GmbH knocked an entire minute off the speed record for an EV at the ‘Ring’. The car handily beat the Peugeot EX1′s already amazing April record of 9 minutes and 1.338 seconds, which shows that the technology behind electric vehicle motors is really taking off.

Sem dúvida o ronco do motor 4 tempos faz falta, mas por outro lado se pode ouvir muito mais o chiado dos pneus nas curvas. Muito legal!
