AutoExec Summary

Mini is aiming to set a new record at Germany’s Nurburgring racetrack by completing a lap without using the brake pedal, showcasing the adjustable regenerative braking in the all-electric Mini Cooper SE. This innovative challenge highlights Mini’s late entry into the adjustable energy recuperation market, which is vital for electric vehicles. Competing brands like Nissan, Hyundai, Porsche, and Tesla have their own approaches to regenerative braking, with Tesla keen to beat Porsche’s recent Nurburgring time.
