NÜRBURGRING LAP RECORD
"We are targeting to beat the electric record and possibly the all time record with 424 at the Nürburgring."
A legendary track:
Opening: June 1927
20.832 km
73 turns
VW ID.R
6:05.336, June 2019
Porsche 919 Evo
5:19.55, June 2018
NIO EP9
6:45.90, May 2017
PERRINN 424
4:59.000
An interesting point about Nüburgring lap record is that the car does not have to abide by any technical regulation. Therefore, we have freedom to optimize its performance. For example, we aim at lowering the weight to no more than 1000kg and use front flap deflection to improve the balance of the car.
Stage 1: VIRTUAL record
Using a state of the art driving simulator and dynamic car model, we first establish a 'virtual' record at the Nürburgring with 424 and publish enough engineering data to build confidence in our models.
stage 2: Real world record
When we are confident that 424 can set the record, we will build a car and execute the 'real world' lap.
