Peugeot broadens its expertise in the development of alternative drive systems: on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the French manufacturer unveiled the EX1 with a new lap record for electric vehicles. 9:01,338 in minutes rounded to the Roadster the 20.8-kilometer route.


The Peugeot EX1 is driven by two electric motors at the front and rear axle. Together they provide 250 kW (340 hp) and have a maximum torque of 480 Newton meters. The current provides a lithium-ion battery. To keep the wheel drive vehicle as light as possible, used Peugeot carbon parts for the body. The chassis was taken from the racing.


The EX1 has already established several world records for Peugeot. In an acceleration record put the open two-seater back 500 meters in 16.81 seconds, the 1,000-meter mark he broke in 28.16 seconds. When Nordschleife lap record for the French record, there were pilots, however, Stéphane Caillet a flying start. It remains to be seen what the world record Peugeot chooses the next target.
