NIO EP9 by RML Group

We designed and engineered the world’s fastest electric vehicle. In just 14 months we delivered the NIO EP9 that topped 310km/h (193mph), hit 0-100km/h in 2.7 seconds had enough downforce to generate 3G in 100mph corners and three tonnes of downforce at 300km/h (186mph) – which is more than an F1 car. The performance demanded an unprecedented braking system and passive cooling system to maintain optimum temperatures. The design also included an interchangeable battery system that permits quick battery changes in line with the design ethos created by NIO.

A total of 16 cars were built for the OEM and we achieved an outright EV lap record at the Nürburgring, Nordschleife in 2017 at 6:45.9, along with the autonomous lap record at COTA at 2:40.330.
