    Volkswagen Want EV Nürburgring Record With Their I.D. R Prototype

    As things stand, the fastest electronic vehicle to lap the infamous ‘Ring is the Nio EP9 with a time of 6:45.9 set in 2017 but Volkswagen want this achievement to sit with them and they plan on doing it with their I.D. R.

    The German automaker has announced plans to take its radical creation to the Green Hell, where it will attempt to take the lap record for electric vehicles. Considering what the sleek, high-tech, battery-powered prototype and its star driver have accomplished so far, we’re left with little doubt that it will succeed.

    Could it grab the overall record from the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo? According to results from simulations the tweaked I.D. R has enough performance to beat the heavily modified Porsche 919 Evo.

    VW will be fine-tuning the aero package over the course of the coming months before undertaking the record attempt next summer.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
