The current lap record for an electric car at the Nurburgring-Nordschleife is 9:01.3, as set by the Peugeot EX1 Concept back in May of this year. Now Toyota, more specifically, Toyota Motorsports GmbH (TMG), is planning to set a new record for an electric car at the Green Hell, and it will attempt to do so with the prototype race car you see here...

One of the big surprises of last weekend’s 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was the stunning Cadillac Ciel Concept, an imposing four-door convertible that its maker described as an exploration into a range-topping flagship.
