Perhaps so, however: That’s the new record for production cars, and it was achieved with drive only going to the rear wheels. More amazing still is that Porsche didn’t just shave a few milliseconds off the previous record. It absolutely smashed it.
According to Road & Track: To date, NIO has built seven EP9s, so we're not sure it can be considered a "production car." NIO itself doesn't say the EP9's time is a production-car lap record, for what it's worth.
