495 Km/h (307.7 mph) on The Salt... (and more)
This car does not have an "engine", if you're paying enough attention to the blog's name. But it certainly is one scary beast and it deserves to be talked about. Its name is the Buckeye Bullet 2.5 and it has reached an average top speed of 495 Km/h (307.7 mph) at the Bonneville Salt Flats earlier this week, which means it simply has established the new Land Speed Record for an Electric Car. However, the record is still pending certification from the FIA. Just a formality since the developpement team has already validated other records with previous versions of this car.
This very aerodynamic record setting vehicle is developped by a student run team that is based out of the Center for Automotive Research at The Ohio State University and it's powered by Lithium-ion batteries coming from the Team's new partner and famous electric car maker Venturi.
