“The “Model S Plaid” circumnavigated the 20.8-kilometre Nordschleife in 7:35.579 minutes and reached a top speed of 279 km/h. The 1,020 hp vehicle with a tri-motor was driven by Swedish driver Andreas Simonsen,” it added, noting the record time is now listed in the category for electric production cars, its premiere.
The Nürburgring is no joke as “on one lap, drivers can expect 73 bends, a 300-metre difference in altitude as well as several demanding climbs, descents and inclines.”
