I had a great day! Thanks again guys! See you soon.

Really would love to see more electric hatchbacks like this and the iD.3 in America. It seems like everything is trending towards America's EVs being all crossovers and SUVs, with a few sedans in the mix.

So good. Always wanted to drive that track.

It’s just incredible that there is an exclamation point in the official name of the e-up!!

Great car! Great color! Great track! Great video! I love little EV's like this.

Brilliant little EV. But pity you didn't start the lap with a fully charged battery

One of my favorite videos you have done. Just sending that little dude through “da ring”. Loved it!

I drive the big brother of the e-up. The e-golf. Lovely car. Range is a bit short in the winter.

That was cool. Power to the city cars :)

While I wouldn’t let Kyle drive my car, this was a super fun video Lol

It looks so much fun for such a small car. Really showing off what slow-car-fast can be.

I have gas Up! GTI running 140bhp, I love it

The power limit is appalling in the "new" e-up. I have driven about 30 thousand km in the old (with the "small" accumulator) as well as over 30 thousand km in the "new" e-up (like in the video). The old e-up, the one with half the capacity in the traction accumulator, was much much better. It kept delivering full power for a much longer time. The old e-up has in fact a higher voltage of the traction accumulator, so to deliver the same power, less current (=heat) is needed. This also applies when charging. I see you were driving when the temperature outside was 13 °C. Try to connect this new e-up to a CCS DC fast charger and connect an old one as well. You will be amazed by the charging performance of the old one. Yes, it has half the range, but the accumulators can deliver more power (due to higher voltage of the pack) and also charge much faster, even in cold weather. The old accumulator was made of 17 modules, the new one has only 14 modules, so its voltage is 82% of the old one. And I think that the rest of the car (wires, inverter, fuses, etc.) was not modified to the lower voltage, which explains the rapid fall of power when the accumulator is at 90% SOC, because the voltage at the SOC is lower than on the old e-up with a SOC of 20%. If I were to invest in an e-up for driving around the Nürnburg Ring, I would choose the old one and do some software tweaks in order to disable the speed limiter, which cuts off power when an indicated speed of 135 km/h is reached. I did the calculations, based on the maximum RPM of the motor and the e-up should theoretically do 159,66 km/h (at least on my summer tires which I had at that time). The values used for calculating: Circumference of wheels 1,81 m (summer tires), gear box ratio: 1,577, differential ratio: 5,176. The electric motor is designed to be able to handle 12000 RPM. So the technical maximum speed is almost 160 km/h. But the car could drive that fast only for limited time, I expect that the motor/inverter/traction accumulator would overheat after a couple of minutes at that speed. The maximum torque of the electric motor is 210 Nm at 2800 RPM, which translates to a speed of 37 km/h. This matches my observations, the e-up accelerates best between 25 and 50 km/h. I had no trouble to loose traction on dry asphalt when I floored it at 30 km/h, especially when leaving bends, the wheel at the inner side of the radius was prone to spin. But even when driving straight, I often got wheel-spin. Especially with the old e-up. The new one is "lazy" in comparison.

Drove the gas version of this last month as a rental, tons of fun, esp on tight roads. Would love this in electric.

The E UP isin the Top ten for EV Sales in Germany for a Long time, even in June 2022. ist is a very pratical City Car and even useful for littel roadtrips. When i moved to Hamburg my Cars going to be smalller From Passat to Golf to Polo to Lupo. Which was the littel VW car befote the UP! With 90 PS i loved it,

I should drive the VW alone to fully enjoy the race track 😊

Great video! To all who want to order this car I have good news: VW announced that the e-up! will remain in production until 2025, when it will be succeeded by the ID.2. Currently it's removed from the configurator because of the backlog, but it will return. No need to cry 😜

Sitting in my Up! Watching. ....using the right hand indicator ( synced to video) to let other cars pass me in the Bunnings Carpark!

Excellent video, it must be wonderful to drive on this track! I had so much fun watching this race!

Your joy was infectious. Have fun good sir.

Great video! Looked really fun 🤩

Made me very happy to watch this one,, 🤩

That was fun to watch, a different twist on the ring!

Half charge with 3 adults? It'll basically run at half power / speed

I used to have the CNG version with all of 68 HP That also rotated slightly on lift-off (100 kg of CNG tanks at the back) Indeed a fun momentum car, with decent tyres

With A/C on!

That was awesome! Thanks!

That looks so fun 👍

very fun watch

My ‘87 Chevy Sprint Turbo had about the same HP.

I have one of these and I'm convinced it can beat my mazda mx5 ND on the track, the center of gravity is very low and it has insane pickup due to the electric motors

I have a remapped GTi up, 140 ish bhp, love it and when going easy I get 60mpg plus

Always more fun to drive a slow car fast vs a fast car slow.

I need more ev's from you on the nurburgrng awsome

That was cool. I did not know that was how the track operated.

The dream

Definitely tourist pace in the e-Up!

Haha awesome!!! Doing it with a higher SoC would make a bigggg difference with this little car. Is a fastcharger availible at the ring?

Haha. Loved it guys

Good times at the ring!

Thanx .!. sorry that the e-Up! is (almost) permanent sold out..

That was fun!

Was hoping to see a ~11 minute lap time (which I'm certain is not the slowest!) Congrats on passing two cars!

Thats brilliant im buying one in the new yr.

Its such a handy car for cities

Up exclamation mark

You have to pass the Opel Popel !

This was awesome! I wonder if anything can be done to improve thermals 🤔

no passenger Chicken bar!

WHY, would start such a lap with only 50% state of charge? Seems like a wasted opportunity!

You should do a video about current your sponsor, it is interesting technology

VW need to bring the 4dr UP to the USA

Trunk has to fit a case of beer

I’m not jealous at all. 😉

As a up! owner, I wouldn't mind switching to an e-up! but unfortunately it's just not affordable. If I'm going to shell out that kind of money, I'd rather buy a 2 year old Mazda MX-5 ND.

Cute!

You know what we all want ! We all want... the E up! Vs the up! GTI round the nurburgring oh yeah !.!.! 🥵🥵🥵

Another slayyy💅🤪

@ ~16:53 - might that be mischa in the bilstein supra?

Could you post the time ? I’m wanting to take my e-up to the Nurembergring next month and would love to know what the difference would be with a bog standard one and me driving

I think you will have a big problem with the battery due to the lowered suspension. Now you have a big risk that something will hit the plastic cover under the battery. compartiment.

Love evs

Price?

I wish we got more vehicles like this in the US small cheap cars and less $50k suvs 😩😩

That car looked like it was doing 150mph! Slow car driven fast for the win.

It is a Rabbit sized EV! Very cool. Make with 140HP for $20K and you'd sell tons in the US.

How much does a lap cost? Very cool and fast system!

i want to see an i4 on that ring

I make a first post for the first time.

Sucks that we don't get cool small cars anymore

What, no magna 😕

You're a very good driver.

Soooo much fun and big smiles. I'd rather have been in the GT4 though 😕

If you live and work in a city, or suburbs, why wouldn't you?

If you have the time and can find one, how about an i3 around the track?

these (and the Seat and Skoda rebadges) cost about £20k in the UK, they were perpetually out of stock and then VW canned it after ramping up the ID3, recently they went "oh shit" and relaunched this in the higher trim for like £26k, but no more seat and skoda version

Plaid would have been faster though

Please activate the closed captions.

It sure would have been way better if you did not have 3 grown men in the car....no reason at all for a back seat passenger!

The world's best race track is in the US. Road America!!!

"Closed Captions" please.

Yet another stupid arms in the air thumbnail.

LOL you smoked the Tesla throughout the whole track and it barely gets past at the end. Tesla truly a 1 trick pony. Worst EV on the market, give me a LEAF over a Tesla.

That's one ugly S*** box !

So funny, my actual car, E-Up! Vs my previous car Opel Astra. The E-Up! has so much torque at the wheel 🛞 (210nM) that the summer tires where losing grip at the green light, i now use winter tires yearlong, the softer rubber solves the grip problem and I get crushed in my seat 💺 now 😉
