Time marches on fellas. This is the future.

I'm a huge fan of the WWII era naval warships, particularly U.S. battleships. The ultimate display of how big your balls are. I fully realize that their time has passed, and one of our current lil ole soulless destroyers would easily eliminate a whole fleet of battleships. Doesn't make the old boats any less impressive though.

Seems like you haven't been on this site long enough lol...that's all these jackwagons care about. Hell ram built an off road truck and all these idiots mention is what its 0-60 time is on pavement......a car that is built for a road course and they only care what it does in the 1/4mi and how to make it faster in a straight line.


Then to top it all off you have morons like @gimmie11s who wants to talk shit about the king of off roading raptor because it has a 450/510 V6 yet that same truck has more than his pos sub 400hp 90whatever pos Chevy daily driver that has a "V8"! Lol


Welcome to svtp!!! Grab a chair and dumb down like most of the crowd. It's worked out great for him and others so lower your standards. Kick back and have some fun with the simple minded

Funniest part is that they look at you like the gum on the bottom of their shoe.

Sexy side profile! I agree with "Sketch Monkey" that this is what the Corvette C8 should have looked like!

1/4 mile times are going to pointless with this technology when every car manufacturer run's 8's. It will become the norm... Going to need a flying car to make things exciting

0-60 is so 2004.

How does this car compare to other cars on the road course?
I would venture very good because of the low center of gravity (heavy batteries below floor).

From the Clinton News Network (Chinesebiden News Network)


NIO EP9: Electric supercar smashes Nürburgring lap record - CNN

(CNN) — When you’re going through “The Green Hell,” keep going.

An electric supercar has completed a lap of the legendary Nürburgring in six minutes 45.90 seconds, shaving off 2.1 seconds off the previous best time by a road-legal vehicle – set by the Radical SR8LM in 2009.

The NIO EP9 is a full half-minute quicker than the nearest EV challenger – Toyota’s TMG EV P002 – and can now lay claim to being the fastest electric road car on the planet.

“This is a fabulous achievement for NIO,” Gerry Hughes, head of performance and Next EV Formula E team principal said in a statement. “I am very proud of the team that has worked tirelessly to achieve this accolade.”

READ: Supercar feels ‘supersonic’

The EP9 boasts one megawatt of power, equivalent to 1342 BHP, and a top speed of 194 mph (312 kph).

At full throttle, it can accelerate from standstill to 124 mph (200 kph) in just 7.1 seconds.

The new lap record illustrates the importance of favorable conditions, with driver Peter Dumbreck taking 19.22 seconds off the EP9’s previous time, recorded last October in “inclement” weather.

The NIO EP9 and I broke the production car record around the Nordschleife today. Mega (Watt) effort by all in production of this car! pic.twitter.com/0UOcyyujqd

NIO EP9 Records

2:40.33 — Circuit of the Americas, Autonomous Lap Record

6:45.90 — Nürburgring, Lap Record

His new lap of the 12.9-mile (20.7-kilometer) German circuit is 35.73 seconds faster than the nearest Ferrari and more than 47 seconds faster than a Koenigsegg CCX.

Powered by four inboard electric motors, the EP9 also tops the four-wheel drive leaderboard, edging out the Lamborghini Huracan Performante.

READ: BMW joins Formula E electric revolution

But the absolute lap record holder at the Nurburgring remains the Porsche 956, built in 1980s for the FIA World Sportscar Championship.

During the 1983 “1000 km of Nürburgring” endurance race, Germany’s Stefan Bellof recorded a still-unbeaten six minutes 11.13 seconds.

The 73-turn circuit that winds its way through the Eifel mountains was nicknamed “The Green Hell” by triple Formula One world champion Jackie Stewart – winner of three German Grand Prix when races were staged at the track during the 1960s and 1970s.

Is the future of racing electric? Have your say on CNN Sport’s Facebook page.

Going forward, NIO plans to produce a limited run of ten EP9 supercars, made to order.

The price? $1.48 million.

Yea that is an impressive car and looks good to boot. It will do just fine around the track.

Would still want a Gemera before this though (which is irrelevant)

THIS unlike Tesla actually looks appealing. But its limited production makes it useless in price. I will never understand why Tesla designated such an UGLY freaking car smh.

Tesla is another example of where u should let car designers design cars and let programmers program them..... God I hope the next Tesla Plaid has a complete design change. 400 mile range aint gonna cut it here especially if u live in a cold climate.

Back to the drawing board.

Supposedly Tesla is looking to working to improve the designs of the vehicles. If they don't, the Plain Chick is going to be overtaken by the new Gorgeous Chicks coming. Seriously, Tesla hasn't had any real competition yet. But it's now right at their doorstep.

I don't mind the exterior appearance of the Tesla Plaid +. The interior is a subjective call. I think they take a less is more approach. I think one could appreciate this aesthetic if you spent some time in it. I'd have to sit in it to get a feel for it.

If theyre going to make artificial sounds you should be able to download any sound you like, like a ringtone.

Id want mine to sound either like an A10 or a tie fighter.
