It’s probably not the car you expect to tout a Nurburgring-Nordschleife circuit lap time but the Mini E today completed a lap of the “Green Hell” in 09:51.45. Known as the Mini E Race, a modified version of the electric-Cooper ran the famous German circuit and hit a top speed of 187 km\/h (116 mph).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe length and profile of the Nordschleife place extreme demands on the technology of our electric car. But the MINI E Race met this considerable challenge with great authority,\u201d said the BMW Group\u2019s Peter Krams, who headed up the project. \u201cThe aim of this unique undertaking was to provide an impressive showcase of the great potential of the MINI E and its environment-friendly drive concept.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mini E Race was piloted by former DTM racing driver Thomas J\u00e4ger from Munich. \u201cI\u2019ve driven this circuit many times, but never in such an extraordinary car,\u201d said J\u00e4ger, the MINI Challenge champion in 2006. \u201cThe power of the electric motor has an incredible effect, as you can access its full reserves of torque at all times. Another element of this fascinating experience is the lack of noise from the drivetrain. All in all, that was certainly the cleanest and quietest race lap I\u2019ve ever driven.\u201d<\/p>\n
