A RACE-SPEC VERSION of the electric Mini prototype has completed the famous 20.8km Nurburgring-Nordschleife circuit in a time of 09:51.45 minutes.
While it’s far from the fastest lap of the track, it did offer a new experience to DTM racing driver Thomas Jager, who took the wheel. “The power of the electric motor has an incredible effect, as you can access its full reserves of torque at all times.”
The car remains a test-bed for the brand, with over 500 out on lease with selected customers worldwide as BMW assesses the car’s potential and issues in everyday life.
