The NIO brand has always been pushing limits and pursuing excellence and the EP9 is no different
On 12 May 2017, the world witnessed a defining moment in electric vehicle history. At the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, widely known as “The Green Hell,” the all-electric NIO EP9 set an astonishing lap record of 6:45.900. This remarkable achievement wasn’t just about speed, it marked a pivotal shift in how the world viewed electric performance.
It was the beginning of a new era, one where electric power met extreme engineering to challenge convention and break barriers. However, that was only the beginning. The EP9 was more than a supercar, it was a symbol of bold vision and technological potential. Its legacy didn’t stay confined to the track.
Moreover, the spirit that propelled the EP9 forward began to evolve. It moved beyond raw performance and into the realm of intelligence, automation, and sustainable luxury. What started with speed transformed into a movement, innovation as a continuous journey.
Now, eight years after that groundbreaking lap, NIO introduces the ET9, an executive flagship that represents the next frontier in smart electric mobility. The ET9 is more than just a vehicle; it is the culmination of nearly a decade of full-stack innovation, integrating cutting-edge hardware, software and AI to create a truly intelligent driving experience.
On top of that, built on the foundation laid by the EP9, the ET9 exemplifies how far electric mobility has come. From racetrack dominance to redefining premium road travel, NIO has continually pushed boundaries, elevating what’s possible through a commitment to design, performance, and advanced technology.
The ET9 is a product of vision turned into reality, and of action driven by purpose. It is the embodiment of NIO’s relentless pursuit of progress, not just in terms of power and precision, but also in intelligence, user experience and sustainable innovation, all in one package.
As we look to the future, the road ahead is still unfolding. But one thing remains clear, NIO will continue to lead, inspire, and innovate. This is because at NIO, the journey never ends. It only evolves. This is more than a celebration of the past eight years. It’s a statement of intent for the next chapter. The pursuit of excellence continues.
