Worlds fastest ELECTRIC CAR video

Ever thought a Datsun would beet a Corvette in a drag race? Well how about a Datsun that runs on batteries faster than a petrol fueled Corvette? If we wouldn’t of had this video as proof i think the whole thing would have been very hard to believe.
Seeing an electric car at a drag strip is kind of strange, but this ’72 electric Datsun has set a new world record as the fastest street legal electric car reaching a top speed of 110 mph in a quarter mile in close to 12 seconds. The secret weapon in such a car is not their horsepower but their torque, witch is alot more than a regular gas engine could ever have. Electric engines produce full torque from the first instant witch translates in faster speed in a shorter time.
After a quarter mile race the Datsun takes around 20 minutes to recharge its ozone protecting batteries and be ready to take on another sportscar like the BMW M3.
