NXT MK1 EVO
A planned vehicle.
Research before testing.
The NXT MK1 EVO is the vehicle in our long-term plan. This page brings together manufacturer brochure specifications, official product resources and questions to assess before acquisition and testing.
NXT official product pageProject Apex has not acquired the car and has not recorded a real-world Nürburgring Nordschleife result. No manufacturer endorsement or partnership is claimed.
Part of the long-term plan.
Project Apex intends to pursue its long-term Nordschleife goal with a Chinese-developed, track-focused prototype. The planned NXT MK1 EVO gives that research a vehicle to investigate; it does not establish that the car has been purchased, tested or proven suitable for this goal.
The project remains in its foundation and simulator-development stage. Current vehicle research is limited to document review. Acquisition, checks on the actual vehicle and real-world testing remain future work.

A set of criteria, before a conclusion.
The planned vehicle aligns with the project’s intended Chinese-developed prototype direction. The following are future evaluation questions. They are not claims about the NXT MK1 EVO’s capabilities.
Driver development
Can the verified vehicle configuration support a progressive, repeatable approach to learning and testing?
Engineering understanding
What official technical information and adjustment guidance are available, and what can be measured responsibly?
Practical operation
What would ownership, maintenance, parts support, safety preparation and track access require?
Nordschleife preparation
What additional validation would be needed before considering real-world running at the Nordschleife?
