0017: BMW i3 [170 ps] at 9’31.603

[as a Regular Use]

It’s interesting to see how electric cars perform on the Nordschleife.
Needless to say, it is quiet, but it is easy to drive.
Not only because it’s an AT, but also because it extremely steers neutral at high speeds.
So driving is very natural and gives you a perfect sense of security.
In other words, if the accelerator is inadvertently turned on during cornering, the push-understeer appears clearly.
Perhaps because there is a little variation in the torque characteristics of the motor, this behavior appears to be precisely proportional to the accelerator opening, which is also a very natural motion.

Anyway, it seems that the reason why it is so stable is that the center of gravity is so low.
Maybe it’s because the heaviest battery is in a lower position.
In addition, high rigidity seems to greatly contribute to high stability.
The use of carbon monocoque is a synergistic effect of its high rigidity and lightweight.

One of the frustrations of running Nordschleife is that it quickly reaches its maximum speed.
Because of the torque characteristics of the motor, it reaches 140 km/h without realizing it.
As a regular car, it’s probably the best buy.

In order to know the true limit performances of cars, it is not enough just to use a general road, so it is necessary to check by driving on the circuit. On the other hand, circuits differ greatly from ordinary roads on the actual road surface conditions, so it is impossible to know the exact limit performance. Nürburgring Nordschleife (Green Hell) is a stage that has both of these characteristics. However, it is not practical to run any actual vehicle on a Nürburgring to evaluate the limit performance. Therefore, we will deliver the true appearance of the car to everyone by utilizing the simulator (GT Sport).
