12. With gearbox golden ratio.
Before we get to the speed and other performance features, let us take you through a journey of understanding the car’s other features which complement its performance. Like its gearbox and chassis.
NIO EP9 has the gear ratio of 1:4.283 and that is the golden ratio. It is equipped with not just one, but four of them. With such ratio, those gearboxes can regulate and control a seamless transfer of power from driver to car.
NextEV NIO claims the car’s chassis to have exceptional strength and be exceptionally engineered. Its 165-kg weight and 30,000 NM/DEG stiffness may support that statement.
That is another remarkable ratio of weight and strength. And it is only possible because of the car’s carbon fiber technology which is used in formula car racing. This material is strong yet 70% lighter than steel.
