Now that we all know about the Peugeot EX1 Concept’s record breaking run on the Nurburgring-Nordschleife track – it’s time to see how it all went down. Peugeot has released a video showing the 9 minute lap around the 12 mile Nordschleife track, which beat the previous record for an electric vehicle by over 50 seconds.

Refresher: Power for the Peugeot EX1 comes from from two electric-motors, one on each axle, with a peak output of 340-hp and an available maximum torque of 177 lb-ft at the front and rear. The system also has four-wheel-drive, showing the benefits of HYbrid4 technology, available as standard on the 3008 from 2011, featuring an HDi FAP diesel engine at the front and an electric motor at the rear.
