There are a lot of things that can be said about Tesla.
Elon Musk’s all-electric car company is in fact changing the world,
having been solely responsible for the accelerated pace at which
electric cars are proliferating. Tesla is also forcing the hand of other
automakers, which have begun to devote far more resources to electric
vehicles since Tesla arrived on the scene.While
Telsa’s sporty Model S sedan is a game-changer that also offers
lightning-fast acceleration and phenomenal handling, there’s one area
where Tesla doesn’t wear the crown. Hold onto your hats, because you’re
about to meet the fastest electric car in the world.You’ve
almost certainly never heard of an electric car company called
Genovation, but it’s a name you won’t soon forget after watching the
video below. The company describes itself as “the green car company,”
though Genovation is much more than that. The company modifies cars with
all-electric drivetrains, and it’s not just about making them more
eco-friendly — it’s about tearing up the race track.The company has a number of accomplishments under its belt, but as Engadget noted this past weekend, Genovation now has its crown jewel: The record for fastest street legal all-electric car.Genovation’s
GXE, which is based on a 2006 Z06 Corvette, features an electric motor
that cranks out 700-hp and 600 lb-ft of torque. The car has a range of
about 130 miles per charge, but that’s certainly not the most notable
thing about it. During a run at the Johnny Bohmer Proving
Grounds/Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida on February 23rd, the GXE
hit a top speed of 186.8 MPH.There are a lot of things that can be said about Tesla.
