From time to time we find some awesome videos that just have to be shared. This one is an electric vehicle breaking the 8-minute mark around the infamous Nurburgring circuit.

The car is the TMG EV P001 from Toyota Motorsport. It uses 2 electric motors that allows a top speed of around 160mph. I want one.
