A Nurburgring class record!? Evija X is a track version of the all-electric Evija hypercar.  While the core of the road going hypercar remained the same (chassis, battery, gearbox, e-motors, drive shafts), new parts were added to meet the requirements of one of the most demanding circuits in the world, pushing the limits and boundaries of the EV hypercar.  New parts added include revised carbon body including splitter and wing with DRS, all new suspension dampers, carbon / carbon brakes, wheels and competition tyres. 
It was tested on the Nurburgring first in June 2023, then early October, and returned Friday 13 October to see what was achievable. It was a damp day, so we weren’t expecting too much... sighting laps only in the morning and then two pacey laps in the afternoon, hitting a time good enough to class fastest car with a production chassis. We think it has more to give... so watch this space.

With so much more power. Yeah, proper race cars have an edge. But if you look at the cornering speeds, GT3 race cars, not exactly the fastest ever GT series, are as fast or faster around bends. They just don't have the silly power. They could get the silly power, but race rules.

@skwdenyer 5 дней назад

I'd like to see the Evija on a warm, dry track. The big difference between the Evija and, say, the ID.R is in cornering and braking. The ID.R hit a peak of nearly 3.5g lateral, whereas the Evija - from the on-video display - looks to be peaking at well under 2g in both cornering and braking. I imagine that's a function of (a) the ID.R being a pure racing vehicle, with associated aerodynamics, and of course (b) being substantially lighter.

Bit of a stretch to say it's got loads of concessions to being a street car... I imagine it's only good for one lap before it needs charged and cooled again? To be honest, I find a Mercedes AMG GT Black Series going 20 seconds slower with just over 1/4 the horsepower and street tyres much more impressive. Because it'll do 5 laps in a row and drive you back to the hotel in relative comfort.

@mattcangie 17 дней назад

I'm glad everything went well and the driver's ok. I have an old Intel CPU I overclocked to 6.12GHz a long time ago using phase change cooling and LN2. It technically worked for a few moments... I feel the same about this EV. It's an overclocked version of an already fast machine which ran a single fast lap and no one will ever duplicate it. Like Bonneville(Utah) machines, it's a fascinating, proof of concept, science project but that's about it. I'm old and like old man things now. I wanna smell the race fuel, hear the engine, see the flames, etc. I don't think I'll ever drool over an electric vehicle.

@@Cloxxki For purpose-build modern race cars, yes, it's because of the much higher safety standard. For this particular project...I think it's the battery weight that dragged it down.

@marksutherlandjr.2121 День назад

Those Prototype cars are something different entirely. This is a monument achievement considering what it is lapping against. Electric cars have such a different feel as well. When your not on the throttle it feels almost like your braking. You have to absolutely keep the throttle down cause if you lift you won't coast like a combustion engine, you will be hemorrhaging time when you lift much more than you traditionally would. So I can imagine getting past that sensation would take some time for the driver to overcome. Incredible marriage of man and machine. I would LOVE to lap the Ring with that car. I know the track by heart these days. Would be so interest in what zi could do in it.
