WORLDS FASTEST NURBURGRING HYPERCAR LAP - EVIJA X
Переглядів 970,090
16 днів томуA 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.

@skwdenyer 14 годин тому
I'd like to see the Evija on a warm, dry track. The big difference between the Evija and, say, the ID.R is in cornering and braking. The ID.R hit a peak of nearly 3.5g lateral, whereas the Evija - from the on-video display - looks to be peaking at well under 2g in both cornering and braking. I imagine that's a function of (a) the ID.R being a pure racing vehicle, with associated aerodynamics, and of course (b) being substantially lighter.

@drumdone 15 днів тому
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.

I'm glad everything went well and the driver's ok. I have an old Intel CPU I overclocked to 6.12GHz a long time ago using phase change cooling and LN2. It technically worked for a few moments... I feel the same about this EV. It's an overclocked version of an already fast machine which ran a single fast lap and no one will ever duplicate it. Like Bonneville(Utah) machines, it's a fascinating, proof of concept, science project but that's about it. I'm old and like old man things now. I wanna smell the race fuel, hear the engine, see the flames, etc. I don't think I'll ever drool over an electric vehicle.

Won't the Valkyrie AMR Pro just easily run quicker than this ? It's a like to like comparison as well
@F1ll1nTh3Blanks 15 днів тому
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. Everywhere else it will be slower. The Valkyrie AMR Pro can potentially get close to the IDR but none will touch the 919 Evo so no records will be broken either way.
@aventusV33 15 днів тому
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks the AMR Pro is based on the same chassis as the road legal Valkyrie. It will definitely be quicker out of corners, carousel, since it probably is quite heavy, maybe not. I am surprised a 2000hp car with time attack aero on slicks is only 20 seconds quicker than the SVJ.

@@aventusV33 It's modified for WEC, so it's different from the road Valkyrie. The Evija X chassis is taken straight from the roadcar with no changes. So it's not the same. The Valkyrie relying on more ground effect will hurt its pace in the carousel and it's less powerful but it's also like 500 or so kilos lighter.

There is no real way to overcome weigh. Bellof's car was....650 kg? Less? Evija X add a full ton? And a mild crash would kill you, as he sadly experienced shortly after. I find modern (race) cars too heavy. A lot of the weight seems to be there for safety...because it's so heavy.
@apophisstr6719 14 днів тому
@@Cloxxki For purpose-build modern race cars, yes, it's because of the much higher safety standard. For this particular project...I think it's the battery weight that dragged it down.
