[@12345678939218]

Surprisingly good. Of course, the weight is noticeable, but good cornering speeds, and the acceleration is crazy

[@sptauto]

The car literally refused to rotate upon every single corner and understeered horribly. The weight wasn't half of the problem. Most of that I'd blame on the lack of proper torque-vectoring and the car not having a much heavier torque split towards the rear wheels.

[@mediocreman2]

I'm not surprised, it's a great car! And a great driver with good feedback for the owner.

[@TheEryk03]

​@@sptautolook at the corner speeds... like many supercars. Of course it must lose traction at that high speeds.

[@sptauto]

@TheEryk03 Those are not high cornering speeds... Pretty much any beater from the 90's with a set of coilovers and more than 100hp per ton can do that. The cornering grip of this car was not substantial.

They are going to need a lot of charging points at the Nurburgring in future.

[@dolphhandcreme]

The speedometer is in kilometers per minute!

[@jojajo2707]

It's basically not that much more than ice cars consume on on lap. Micha tested m6 and range dropped -56miles which is around 90km. He tested a mclaren 720 and fuel went from 100% to 78%. But you are right, 125km is a lot. A guess the audi will last two laps Nordschleife only😅

[@adogmcdizzle]

@@jojajo2707 Yes, you are right, there is a rough equivilence. The difference with those is that you can refuel them in 5mins and be back on track again. If every parking space in the car park had a charging point then it wouldn't be an issue.

[@oluskloc]

For electric cars second lap on nurburgring is already a challenge, might run out of electricity. But yes 2 laps is completely normal on eletric, they use battery much faster than petrol cars use fuel, average fuel tank should last 4 laps+ and it's only few minutes to put petrol back. Battery might overheat and needs additional time and charging too.

A Cadillac with Swedish plates isn't that shocking, for some reason US cars are really popular in Sweden and Norway, I've owned a couple myself here in Norway, a '80 Buick wagon, a '76 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and a '78 Mustang II... which I got when I was maybe 19 or 20, knowing nothing about them, or how unpopular they can be, thus harder to get parts for, thankfully... in a way, it had a V6, meaning it was the Ford 2.8 V6 from Cologne, so what you'd find in a Granada, thus plenty of parts about back then. :P

Same as on Plaid with Regen on, a bit more than 3 laps till the battery is empty and it needs to be recharged for ~15min for the next 2 laps. Good to see that. I'd say a bit less hp than the plaid once it overheats, so also great from Audi!

@@gulfcitynd that's a misperception people have. you don't need to go find a charge to refuel the ev like you do with ice car. you are supposed to refuel it at home using 7kw charger and leave the house every morning with 300+ miles or so. how often do you drive 300+ miles at one go? i understand not everyone has a home charger. then it would be inconvenience unless you work in a company that also offers free charging which i get. so, i don't spend any money on fuel or charging.

[@BADIKPETER]

More impressing that observing the speed is to observe the range: at the start it showed 297 km of range, the last reading was 172 km, so on 20 km track they spent at least 125 km of range. All in all, 2 rounds and you need to go for 30 min recharge. But the driver is excellent👌

[@dwftube]

All true, but I bet if you went round at a comparable rate in a similarly capable ICE car you would be able to see the fuel gauge needle moving.

[@michaelcarney6280]

Nice to see the Tycan Turbo S in comparison!

[@DDBmaster]

I m confused about the tyres... they took 20kms of 2.5 tons car preassure to hardly get up to 60ish ⁰C ..? I dont own or track use a car, but my liter bikes tyres get up to 60-70 in like 3 laps on a track of 3.2kms. Why they warm up so slow ?

[@rosshardingham2014]

You both looked so excited in there. 😂

[@williamstrachan]

Would be interesting to see how the car performs when driven in a way that maximises regen rather than use of the mechanical brakes, whilst still using the full acceleration of the car.

[@swecreations]

Should provide for range numbers that outclasses a lot of gasoline-powered cars on the Nurburgring, it's crazy how much energy you can recover from braking that is otherwise lost.

[@billcar50]

I think the regen adds to the heat. The higher the regen, the higher the thermal load placed on the cooling system.

[@lumntoob999]

I think the regen adjustment is only for when off throttle but not on brakes, if you had the regen on a low setting but then started to apply the brakes it would use more regen until you pushed the brakes hard enough and it would then start working the mechanical brakes. I would think the only way to gain more energy back would be to not brake as late and hard so you had a longer regen area but that would cost laptime.

[@AIRDRAC]

@@billcar50 This exactly - While using as much regen as possible would, in an ideal situation, extend the range dramatically, while making sure your brakes last longer, in reality it adds even more thermal load on the electrical power system, and usually the battery will get too warm even when not using regen at all on the Nürburgring, so it's better (for the laptime) to minimize regen, and use the brakes more :) On lower powered cars high regen can help, I know that the ~300 HP Hyundai/Kias benefit greatly from it on track, but then again they don't exactly handle like sports cars.

Amazing how stable and predictable this car is compared to the Tesla Plaid without the track pack, even though the Tesla had better tires, it was so sketchy. Audi is way superior stock...even with crappy tires.

[@danieldagenais7945]

Model S plaid w/o track pack is still faster than an e-tron RS arround the ring or Laguna seca and cost like 60k US $ less with more range and more....everything an 10000$+EV should have. Track pack on the Plaid make the E-tron RS looks slow arround a Track and is still 40k less. In the everyday life the Tesla absolutly destroy the E-tron in every possible way. I am still 😂 at the "Stable arguments" when trowing à 5k pound+ cars with more power than any VW group production car ever created is a normal situation.

[@graemecollie9233]

@@danieldagenais7945 here in the Uk / Europe the standard Plaid (when it gets here) costs near enough that it makes no difference the same as the RS etron GT. When you add the £16k track pack its the same price as a Vorsprung RS GT so your pricing argument only holds water seemingly in the US if indeed it is correct. Plus the Plaid track pack comes with Cup 2's and as the name suggests is adapted for a track? I would hope with 400+hp more and track biased tyres it would be better! And let's not get started on range given the pending lawsuit in the US against Tesla misrepresenting it's range in its cars akin to dieselgate! There are currently RS GT's with more track focused tyres, ceramic brakes and tuned to in the region of 850 bhp (so less power) which are running below the Plaid track pack's 'claimed' Nordschleife lap time. In any event, a near 8 minute lap time in this video, 2 up, with street tyres and brakes plus traffic is nothing to be sniffed at.
