Yeah, right? Note that the record is for series production vehicles, of which I believe there are actually only a whopping total of two that have attempted to set a Nürburgring time: The SLS here, and the Audi R8 e-tron. So yeah, this does seem to be quite a bit of marketing fluff.
That said, the time isn't all that bad (7:56). The Toyota P001 EV (which isn't a production car) that has the Nürburgring EV record did it only about 10 seconds faster IIRC and is basically a Radical chassis with an electric powerplant.
