Ohio State University's is aiming for 400mph from a student-designed and built electric car.
Called Buckeye Bullet 3, it joins a line of record-breaking cars from the University's (OSU's) Center for Automotive Research (CAR).
"The third generation electric land speed record vehicle to be designed and built by OSU students, the Buckeye Bullet 3, will be an entirely new car designed and built from the ground up," said Professor Giorgio Rizzoni, director of CAR. "Driven by two custom-made electric motors designed and developed by Venturi, and powered by prismatic A123 batteries, the goal of the new vehicle will be to surpass all previous electric vehicle records."
