The NIO EP9 recently broke the lap record at Germany's famous Nurburgring circuit.

The EP9 shaved off 2.1 seconds from the previous best time by a road-legal vehicle -- set by the Radical SR8LM in 2009.

Nicki Shields, presenter of CNN's Sueprcharged show, onboard the EP9 during a test day in January.

The EP9 boasts one megawatt of power, equivalent to 1342 BHP, and a top speed of 194 mph (312 kph).

The EP9 can accelerate from 0-124 mph (200 kph) in 7.1 seconds.

"The handling was amazing," Shields says. "You can carry a lot of speed into corners and the acceleration out of them -- it just feels supersonic."

"I've been in a lot of fast cars before but the EP9 is definitely the fastest," Shields says.

The EP9 costs $1.48 million.
