The prototype is being run at top race tracks around the world and the most recent test was at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The test took place in February and the teaser clip below gives us a glimpse at the car’s performance.

According to Nio, the EP9 lapped the 3.4-mile track in a brisk 2:11.3 and at one point reached a top speed of 170 mph. However, the company also ran the car in self-driving mode where it clocked a still respectable 2:40.33. With no driver onboard, the car managed to hit 160 mph which is a record top speed for a self-driving car.
