Video of the Nürburgring lap record for a Toyota electric vehicle

Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) has set a new lap record for an electric vehicle (EV) at the legendary 20.8km Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany. The TMG EV P001, with 100% electric powertrain and Jochen Krumbach at the wheel, set a new lap record of 7mins 47.794secs to beat the previous lap record, which stood at 9mins 1.338secs, by a very substantial margin. Using two electric motors, the TMG electric powertrain has a top speed of 260km/h which combined with 800Nm of torque to achieve impressive speeds on the extremely challenging Nordschleife track, which includes significant elevation changes and lengthy flat-out sections.

  1. Toyota FTFW!

  2. which the maximum speed mph?

  3. They can always get the thrill back with 10kW amp and loudspeakers.

  4. @teddybgame1973 It’s possible that it has ground clearance issues, F1 cars can’t use the Carousel anymore either.

  5. I watched the footage. Check the 4:40 timeframe; looks like poor form on „The Carousel“. Most people enter on third „patch“ and stay on the white & black paint, but he stayed almost completely out. Very odd…..

  6. Cool steering wheel and is the wind shield crystal clear or what? (or what)

  7. Radical’s beaten another record. Now with Toyota electric engine. Great!
    It’s Radical SR3 RS with Toyota engine.

  8. I luv driving „The Ring!“ Great video of Toyota’s new electric rocket. Thanks for sharing.

  10. こんな加速を味わったらもうガソリン車には戻れねーだろ

  11. @SupercellKid
    There is no problem with the internal combustion engine. The problem is with gasoline. Run them on ethanol, and life is good… you can get that from any plant with sugar in it. And, it’s a renewable resource.

  12. Noob… could go so much faster

  13. @Moore183HD its using two electric „MOTORS“. you idiot.

  14. Also 7min. 47 sec is an awesome lap time for the ‘ring’ I play Forza Motor sport 3 (coz I cant afford the money to race for real) and we racr on Nurbugring and yeah I am only doing about 7min 59 sec in A class atm

  15. Part 3, I think Possibility’s are endless using electric motors. I wonder if we will have electric brakes soon. lol. Using electromagnetic resistance to stop a car, thus eliminating the need for brake pads that over heat and / or wear out. I am so excited as to what the future of Motor Racing holds. the problem is Parts manufactures of ICE based cars will prolly do everything they can to reduce or eliminate the proliferation of the Electric Car :(

  16. Pt2 I think its amazing the things you Can hear no that there is no noisy engine over powering all the other sounds. Like Wind noise, Tyre noise and gear noise, i.e. the Differential. Unless maybe they are twin Engine models with 1 motor for each rear wheel. Then they wont need a diff. If it was an all wheel drive they would need 2 Diffs, and a power transfer case unless there where maybe 4 motors, or even 2 motor arranged 1 front, 1 rear and a diff or something to dive power to Left & Right

  18. I found the sound pretty awesome. I am really looking forward to electric cars someday going up against I.C.E. type Enginesin Touring car Championships. In fact I look forward to them going head to head in every type of motor racing there is. Drag, Rally, even Motor Cycle racing. Just coz it doesnt make a bucket load of loud noise doesnt mean it would not be a crazy experience to drive. Its just a mattter of us getting used to these kinds of noises. The whining is no doubt differential noise.

  19. @fteoOpty64 On my video of Derek Bell doing a lap in mid-1980s (the original old circuit) in the Rothmans-Porsche 956, he was hitting around 170-175 mph on the long straight and approx. 140 in the turns. I’d imagine this Toyota was at similar speed.

  20. In the first turns it sounded almost like a mario kart :-)

  21. wow, that’s got to be an amazing experience: to go that fast with little more sound than the wind is making as you blast through it. thats probly what it feels like to run like flash

  22. DAMN! what kind of batteries does that thing have? i’d like some for my lapotop, theyd probly last like a month

  23. As the holder of the track record for an EV at Infinion ( Sears Point), my hat is off to the driver in this beast. Wicked understeer, but he pushed her pretty hard just the same. Well done man!

  24. Awesome!. But its a shame the live speedo meter is not included as I would love to see the actual speed on some straights and some turns. The best video I had of the ring was Joaquin Hans-Stuck’s M3GTR round doing something like 7.45 on that excellent sequential 7 speed shifter. Also the awesome M5 engine whine was just captivating on the long straights.

  25. @J450NB3CK3R yes. electric motors produce the same torque no matter how many rpm they are doing, so dont need gears.

  26. @holymolydonutshop123 thats right and by the way, nascars aren’t gay, they are as cool as the nordschleife/nürburgring

  27. @powerviking true but you have forgotten about the race track „Road America“. With its long straights, and sharp corners its could very well match up. Plus the same cars in the video race there all day. They just at the American Le Mans there like last week. Just a little F.Y.I. for you lol haha

  28. @ProTuner06 as a film maker i was pointing out the way this film was shot/edited, dont get me wrong i like the ring just as much as the next guy., what i hate is the way this film looks and feels, top gearish..

  29. I love you!! renault you are cute so cute !

  30. @kumathebulldog WHat the hell are you on about?? Nurburgring is the greatest and one of the most technical tracks in the world. 24 Hours of PURE endurance. There is a reason it’s called the „Green Hell“. I’ve been on race tracks all over the world and I haven’t enjoyed any track as much as I’ve enjoyed the Nurburgring.

    Not too mention it’s such a historical event. Have some respect for our sport man. All TRUE motor sports enthusiasts love The Ring.

  31. @powerviking Come to Australia mate and visit Bathurst or search it on Youtube,drivers from all over the world say its the scariest track they have ever driven at 6.1km long.

  32. @powerviking Dude we got pikes peke though.

  33. everytime i see this video i must cry

  34. 3:23 – 3:27… eargasm.

  35. @emagdnim33 Rööööschtöösch!!

  36. When is this coming out? I haven’t heard about it in a while

  37. where have i seen this before? thats right.. Top Gear.. nothing special about this x’cept 4 the cars

  38. I think that there are some shots of Hockenheimring in this video, as well. Also a great track!

  39. @LamborghiniGT615 beethovan’s 7th symphony – allegretto

  40. When is this movie coming out???

  41. whts the name of tht song in the begining… the Porsche @ 2:10 is the nicest part 4 me…

  42. @powerviking No tienes ni puta idea nascar es UNA SHITTTTTTTTTTTT esto es conducir puto payes

  43. that red smocking mustang was the epic moment !!

  44. „It will take you there.

    Will you go?“

    NO I WONT AND FUCK YOU JEEP YOU’RE FUCKING EVERYWHEREEEE!!! AHHH I’M SO ANNOYED WITH YOUUU!

  45. The classical song sounds close to tchaikovski. Who is that classical song composed by?

  46. @margijager and then there’s Le Mans Championships in France.

  47. this isn’t only nurburgring , it’s also filmed @ spa francorchamps
    these really are the 2 nicest tracks in the world

  48. When is going to be released the full movie?

  49. is this video plays?

  50. @glady91 any damn kraut can drive onto the ring and race. can’t do that here except at dragstrips. ring > drag !!!
