Electric car start-up NextEV showed off its first car last Monday — a stunning electric supercar that holds two speed records.

NextEV didn't say whether the car will go up for sale during its unveiling, but Electrek reports that a limited production run will occur with the car priced at roughly $1 million.

Called the NIO EP9, the car is part of NextEV's new brand NIO and is being referred to as the fastest electric car in the world.



It beat the previous EV record held on the 20.8-kilometer (roughly 13-mile) "Green Hell" track in Nürburg, Germany at a time of 7 minutes and 5.12 seconds. It also holds the EV record at Circuit Paul Ricard in France at 1 minute and 52.78 seconds.



The start-up said the electric supercar can reach a top speed of 194 mph and accelerate to 100 kilometers-per-hour (or 62 mph) in just 2.7 seconds.
