ELECTRIC CAR SETS NEW WORLD RECORD
An ultralight electric car built by students at a US
university has set a new land speed record in its class, besting the previous mark by nearly
80kph. Electric Blue, an E1 streamliner designed and modified by
more than 130 Brigham Young University students over the past 10 years, averaged 330kph on two qualifying runs in September
2014. The new mark obliterates the previous
record, 250kph, which was set by the same BYU car in
2011. The car notched the record in
September 2014 in front of approximately 180 teams and their cars at the Bonneville
Salt Flats in northwestern Utah
