The NIO EP9 electric supercar, a record-breaking hypercar, is set to headline the feature lawn at the Scramble event at Bicester Heritage on Sunday 23 April. The event is celebrating automotive ‘Local Heroes’ with an eclectic mix of machinery, including the EP9 which has set records on the Nürburgring, Circuit of the Americas, and Shanghai International Circuit.

The EP9 is a stunning one-megawatt supercar that has achieved incredible feats in both manned and autonomous modes. It is made by NIO, a smart EV manufacturer whose global R&D center for performance and advanced concept engineering is based in Oxford. The Oxford team played a crucial role in the engineering of the EP9 and continues to maintain the pioneering cars today, including #6, the very car that secured the records at the Nürburgring and Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The Scramble event takes place at the former WW2 RAF Bomber Training Station and Bicester Heritage, a historic vehicle ownership revolution that promotes skills, expertise, employment, and shared business incubation.

The Local Heroes display will feature cars, race teams, specialist firms, and more from within a 30-mile radius. This honors the fine tradition of the region from the dawn of producing cars in the UK to today, and from Le Mans to Formula 1.

The feature lawn in the shadow of the main Building 123 has marked the 90th running of Le Mans and ‘Winter Wagons’ in recent editions but will be looking closer to home for April. The sold-out event is expected to attract a capacity crowd, showcasing the best of local automotive engineering.

In conclusion, the NIO EP9 electric supercar’s appearance at the Scramble event is a testament to its incredible engineering and the pioneering work of the Oxford-based team. The Local Heroes display will showcase the best of automotive engineering within a 30-mile radius and will provide a glimpse into the region’s rich history of producing cars. This event is a must-see for all automotive enthusiasts and will undoubtedly be a celebration of innovation and engineering excellence.

The Scramble event featuring the NIO EP9 hypercar is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 23, 2023, at the former WW2 RAF Bomber Training Station in Bicester Heritage.
