A Nurburgring class record!? Evija X is a track version of the all-electric Evija hypercar.  While the core of the road going hypercar remained the same (chassis, battery, gearbox, e-motors, drive shafts), new parts were added to meet the requirements of one of the most demanding circuits in the world, pushing the limits and boundaries of the EV hypercar.  New parts added include revised carbon body including splitter and wing with DRS, all new suspension dampers, carbon / carbon brakes, wheels and competition tyres. 
It was tested on the Nurburgring first in June 2023, then early October, and returned Friday 13 October to see what was achievable. It was a damp day, so we weren’t expecting too much... sighting laps only in the morning and then two pacey laps in the afternoon, hitting a time good enough to class fastest car with a production chassis. We think it has more to give... so watch this space.

With so much more power. Yeah, proper race cars have an edge. But if you look at the cornering speeds, GT3 race cars, not exactly the fastest ever GT series, are as fast or faster around bends. They just don't have the silly power. They could get the silly power, but race rules.

​@@TheTechnoaddict dude, it's a mere 6 seconds faster than an actual road legal AMG ONE that is not build specifically for this track. Chassis and the drive train, that's what it has from the street legal version. Body is purposely build for this, taken everything out that is not necessary. Literally making it into a race car and it was still just 6 seconds faster that an actual street legal car and barely 14 seconds faster that a freaking Porsche 911 that you can actually see on the roads from time to time. It's embarrassing calling out hypercars, but literally doing the exact same shit

919 porsche faster. how about mc murty spierling? also why full electric when you can combustion to replace most the batttery with super capacitor and fuel with electric motor er wheel, allowing max power to weight ratio? electric car is not even best for "environmental" or financial issues compare to lightweight effceint hybrid because combustion fuel is anaerobic bacterial mass that is sustainable unlike battery and solid magnet electric motor (the normal stuff) which cant be fully recycled. let alone as high power machine like this

Bit of a stretch to say it's got loads of concessions to being a street car... I imagine it's only good for one lap before it needs charged and cooled again? To be honest, I find a Mercedes AMG GT Black Series going 20 seconds slower with just over 1/4 the horsepower and street tyres much more impressive. Because it'll do 5 laps in a row and drive you back to the hotel in relative comfort.

This uses a road chassis whereas the AMR Pro was built to race. I imagine there are 3 areas this car might be faster, on the carousel and out of corners on to straights.
