Toyota electric car sets record at Nurburgring
With a weight of less than 1000 kg is TMG EV P001 fairly “light” given that the electric car also has the heavy batteries on the track. Any indication of the possible distance, we have unfortunately not, but it should be at least eight minutes at full throttle.
All cars and drivers who do a lap around the Nurburgring in eight minutes is worth the greatest respect. But if we say that Toyota clocked the 7:47,749 around the ring with an electric car – then maybe you lift your eyebrows a little?
Old record around the Nurburgring with the electric car was set earlier this year by Peugeot and their EX1, but it did not become particularly old. To beat Toyota is not easy when their electric car ” TMG EV P001 ” is built from electric car specialist e – Wolf and is based on a chassis from the British Radical, the already famous for spectacular ring -time. Even with the heavy batteries on board the car weighs just 970 kilograms and total peak power 380 hp and 800 Nm from the two electric motors. Top speed down to 230 km / h.

Toyota TMG EV P001 was driven by Jochen Krumbach and the car was equipped with gatlegala tires. The lap time was set on Monday, August 29. How it happened, you see the video below. We can already tell that there is something wrong with your speakers, electric cars are very quiet even on a race track. Fancy yourself running the electric race car? It may be possible as early as next year when Toyota Motorsport GmbH is planning to build series of TMG EV P001.
