    Watch Volkswagen ID R Demolish Electric Lap Record At The Nurburgring

    ID.R during testdrives on the Nürburgring

    Yesterday the news broke about Volkswagen‘s ID.R setting a new lap record for EV’s at the infamous circuit and now we have footage of the electrifying (excuse the pun) 6:05.336 lap.

    The time around the 156-corner circuit eclipsed the previous 6min 45.90secs mark for an electric car, set by the 1,341 hp (1,000 kW), four-motor Nio EP9 in 2017. While that was officially a production-based machine, the ID R is a one-off purely for competition.

    The VW ID.R packed “just” 671 hp (500 kW) which is half the amount of output compared to the car it eclipsed making it even more impressive.

    To break the Nordschleife record, the ID.R was heavily modified from how it ran at Pikes Peak. It introduced an F1-inspired aerodynamic package featuring a new rear wing, new front splitter and a drag reduction system that can reduce downforce by up to 20%.

    Remarkably, the time was nearly six seconds quicker than the long-time lap record of 6min 11.13secs set by Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 956 in 1983.

    • The brand new Haval H6 GT was spotted in Bedfordview JHB by @engineeringkulture 

The H6 is proving to be a big success in SA and this sportier-looking offering is likely to sell very well in Mzansi.

What do you think of it?

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
