The Nio EP9 is a battery-powered, two-seat sports car manufactured by RML Group on behalf of Chinese electric car company Nio. Although it is a track-use only car, it was not developed with assistance from Nio's Formula E racing division. The name EP9 stands for Electric Performance 9.
History
Developed and built in 18 months, the EP9 debuted at the Saatchi Gallery in London, England on November 21, 2016.[2][3]
Six EP9s have been sold to Nio investors for GB£2.5 million each. Nio has announced that ten additional EP9s will be sold to the general public.
However, it is not a road-legal vehicle, and none of the 16-production model EP9s were ever registered for road use. The EP9 is purely designed for track use only and does not comply with the laws and regulations to be registered in China. None of the 16-production model EP9s were ever exported and registered for road use outside China so far.
