Battery temps were probably well into the redline Lithium cells don't like being any hotter than 60 to 70C (140-158F) or you end up with a fireball as the cells hit thermal runaway The pack was probably being current limited to prevent the pack from going into thermal runaway and exploding by the time it got to Döttinger Höhe. Kudos though from one of the engineers who worked on the Nio EP9 battery systems, amazing to see such quick progress in high performance electric :)

[@muratti72muc]

the car was not build for highspeed. The accu cells have a own electric cooling unit. EP9 have much bigger accus, means much more weight, with more horsepower and higher speed. More weight means slower acceleration, slower apex speed and you must be earlier on the breaks.

@@opus_workshop ...not really. Just when you have a 21km long power cable for the electric car ;-) Problem is that you can't build accu cells who can store more energy with the same weight. Lithium is the best element for store energy they know at the moment. Thats the big problem, more energy or longer distance means more weight and slower car. First you must find a new chemical element on the planet that will store more energy like Lithium. A 500kg litihum accu have the same energy like ca. 40kg fuel.

[@DFX2KX]

@@PelycheeaceRA Batteries are, even as much as we've advanced, pretty damned abysmal yeah. The main issue is coming up with a reaction that both stores a good charge difference and can charge/discharge quickly, without being incredibly volatile in the process. You short an alkaline, it'll just burst and make a mess, you short a nickle, you'll get magic smoke, you short a Li-Po you get flames.

[@PelycheeaceRA]

@@DFX2KX battery development is complicated and quite unpredictable throughout. you might come up with a promising electrochemical system, run computer simulations that show good results, but once you build your prototype almost nothing happens. turns out that during discharge, the metal doesnt deposit on the electrode in neat layers, but forms a weird moss-like structure that inhibits ion transport. i also remember my lecturer talking about a case where reaction products would form shells around metal particles, leading to unexpectedly steep gradients in pH-value in the reaction zone. its as frustrating as it is fascinating.

Battery must have died off it went from doing 272 kph to 242kph what happened there?

[@morgfarm1]

If it's anything like the RC cars I used to race, it could either be introduced by heat in the motors, or more likely, a battery saving feature. Heat robs electric motors of power, and a lot of it. Without knowing the battery technology in the car off hand, it could go either way. I do know that with Hybrid racing cars, if you lose that battery power, you lose your acceleration power. Stands to reason it's a battery saving feature intended for longer runs. Notice it was able to hit 260kph after heavy braking which is regenerative on most hybrids and electric cars. I see electric cars more as 1:1 scale RC vehicles - They use the same concepts and principles, just different technologies and larger parts. If you found a 1:10 scale VW ID.R RC car, 27kph would be the correct scale speed. Though, who wants an RC that does 27kph? 160kph is where it's at. (Rough estimating, I'm from the US so my speed conversion is a little off-center from what it should be; the Traxxas XO-1 RC is capable of 100mph out of the box with option components; I believe a 6s LiPo battery and a massive brushless electric motor and highly durable Electronic Speed Controller to match the car's size and power; the XO-1 is actually roughly 1:7.5 scale.

241 kph on the long straight, those batteries must have been COOKING! They could do 270 earlier in the lap. With more time to build it, and with 2024 tech, it would be MUCH light and more powerful. Porsche could retrofit their 919 Evo probably, the batteries would not need to be very large after all. Half a Rimac Nevera pack would be good for up to 957 hp, probably enough for a run like this. The full Taycan pack is a bit heavy and would enable three pretty fast laps or about four at GT3 pace. Borrow motors from Lucid or Koenigs egg, they make them light and superlight respectively.

By its cornering speeds it would have been on par with the 919 evo if its top speed had been better in straights (I mean, way better) ... Still, beating Bellof's record without even crossing 275 kph is a huge performance

[@dwr4992]

The speed this car carries through the corners is insane! But I don't understand why it can hit 260+ at 1:54 and 2:02 but max out at 249 in the long straight. Is that power loss due to battery fade?

[@keksdieb6118]

Enrico Friedrich 1

[@Gaark]

good question, you could notice the drain on the battery though, at the start it hit 270kph but on the huge straight it only made 250kph. I really think much better power storage will be needed for an endurance race

[@muratti72muc]

maybe 47-50 rounds. 8min for one round (25km) and 20min for recharge every round. +100 rounds or 2500km shorter than a car with fuel.

[@herr_barus]

I rode 4 times 'Rad am Ring' (2006-2009) and took on average ~50min per 23km lap (north loop + short cut through the paddock area). So this car is literally twice as fast as me on a road bike...

[@enzochiapet]

notice in the first 1.5 minutes it was easily accelerating up to 250-260 kph and topping out at 270 kph. By 3 minutes in, climbing up the long valley, it was surprisingly max at only 250 kph and then on the last long straight it was stretching to keep in the 245-250 kph... this record will be short lived once they can achieve 100% output for an entire lap.

[@juanca1166]

That can be for battery power decreasing maybe?

[@99Lezard99]

you can see at the end of the lap, it allready lost some power. it went 250kph through kesselchen and klostertal wich is quite a climb and it barely went 250kph on the döttinger höhe wich is far less of a climb. guess it would need recharging after only 1 lap to perform on its best abilitys. also the chassis came from norma and the engines also arent by vw....not that this isnt an achivement but yeah not as revolutionary as they would like us to belive.

[@Daniel-666]

top speed only 270km/h😹🤣 crappy electric motor sound😹🤣 electric "cars" need long time to resuply battery so it's crap 😹🤣

[@Dracuz123]

Yes it lost power, but its not cause of low batteries. The reason behind this is that the batteries overheat and therefor the car reduces power. Also can be seen in teslas when driven at topspeed.

[@Dan81825]

@@Daniel-666 You are just like Wilhelm II. (last german emperor 1859 - 1941). He said, that the car would be a temporary thing and will never be able to replace a horse. Give the technology some time and it will kick combustion engine's ass.

[@BavariaR]

right I agree, it does not impress me like the 919 Porsche run... it has extremely good chassis and down force and wins all the time in the corners, but power wise on long term delivery it is not that impressive.

[@skynet0912]

The top speed of the car is limited compared to pikes peak because of the elevation... The Nordschleife runs at around 300-600m in altitude, meaning the air is very dense. Pikes Peak starts at about 2800m, and ends at about 4300m, meaning the air the car has to push through is a lot less dense at Pikes Peak than at the Nordschleife. On top of this, an electric car doesn suffer the severe loss of power when nearing the top of the course, so it has it's full power throughout the entire run!

[@swagster4life41]

It also seems like they adjusted aerodynamics. which would probably be useful, because of altitude difference.

Thanks for covering this, and it is fantastic that VW is advancing the engineering sciences, just as the multi-stakeholder co-operative that Porsche Design and the German Labour Front had intended in the 1930s.
