Volkswagen I.D. R gets ready for a Nürburgring world record

German automotive giant Volkswagen AG said it was planning on setting a new world record in the ‘EV’ category at the Nürburgring Circuit. To that end, the company has been working on an upgrade meant for its I.D. R Concept racecar. Once complete, Pikes Peak champion Romaine Dumas will pilot the vehicle to victory at the North Loop.

According to some representatives of the company, the engineers are currently busy improving the aerodynamics of the I.D. R. The all-electric racecar had initially been designed for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race that involved rising to 4,302 meters (14,114 ft.) above sea level. Naturally, conquering the North Loop requires an entirely different vehicle configuration.

In order to score the record, the I.D. R Concept will have to complete the entire lap faster than 6 minutes 45.9 seconds, the current benchmark set by Peter Dumbreck piloting a NIO EP9.

The date for the race hasn’t been scheduled yet.
