中国Nio的EP9电动超跑创下纽博格林赛道记录

The quickest street-legal car to lap the Nürburgring is electric.

刷新纽博格林赛道记录的街道跑车(相较于赛道跑车，street-legal指符合灯光、安全等规定可上路的车辆)是电动的。

The Nio EP9 an electric supercar built by Chinese startup NextEV lapped the famous German racetrack in just 6 minutes 45.90 seconds. That’s a substantial improvement over the 6:52.01 set by the Lamborghini Huracán LP640-4 Performante last fall. But because just 16 copies of the EP9 will be built some will likely consider the Lambo’s lap time to be more meaningful as a yardstick for production cars.

由中国人创办的蔚来汽车生产的电动超跑Nio EP9在著名的德国赛道上跑出了单圈6分45.90秒的成绩。这相比去年秋天由兰博基尼飓风LP640-4创下的6:52.01记录是一个显著提升。但因为EP9只生产16台，有些人可能会认为兰博基尼的记录对量产汽车更有意义。

This is actually the second time the EP9 has visited the Nürburgring. Last fall it set a lap time of 7:05.12. Nio said the 19.22-second improvement was achieved thanks to better weather conditions on the second attempt.

实际上这是EP9第二次拜访纽博格林。去年秋天它取得过单圈7:05.12的成绩。蔚来公司称第二次试跑成绩提高了19.22秒是因为更好的天气状况。

The EP9 is powered by four electric motors producing a combined 1342 horsepower. While Nio won’t quote a 0 to 60 mph time it claims the EP9 can do 0 to 200 kph (0 to 124 mph) in 7.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 124 mph. The supercar also features an “interchangeable battery system” that allows charging in 45 minutes an estimated range of 265 miles and autonomous-driving capability.

EP9由四台独立电机驱动，一共可提供1342马力动力。蔚来公司没有提供其0到60英里时速的加速时间，但声称EP9可在7.1秒内加速至最高时速200公里(0到时速124英里)。“可置换电池系统”也是该超跑一大特色，该系统下充电45分钟续航可达265英里，还具备自动驾驶能力。
