Electric Car UK Speed Record

That is so slooooow.

The reason I say it's so slow is.

Dragsters are running well over 300 MPH in the quarter mile now, in like 3.7 seconds. And that is with the NHRA trying to limit their speed. That is crazy fast and insane too, doing it in a quarter mile.

The current record for an electric rail dragster is the "Current Eliminator" owned and driven by Dennis Berube of Phoenix, Arizona. It current holds the NEDRA World Record in the DR/A3 class at 7.956 seconds ET in the quarter mile at 159.85 MPH.

I'm guessing the car in the OP broke the electric production car record. You can't buy a dragster from a dealership, nor could you drive it home.
