At the end of June, Drayson Racing set a new land-speed world record for an electric car in the FIA’s sub-1,000 kg category with a top speed of 204.185 mph. Now, is time to see the B12 69/EV Le Mans prototype in action at the Elvington Airfield in England where the new record it established the new record.

With the new top speed, Drayson smashed the previous record by 29.2 mph. It was established back in 1974 and stood up for nearly 4 decades. The super EV that hit this impressive top speed pulls power from four axial-flux motors - one motor on each rear wheel - with an integrated transmission for a total output of about 850 horsepower.

As the new world record holder, Lord Drayson, commented: "I'm delighted we've beaten the record tonight and can show the world EVs can be fast and reliable. Drayson Racing is a laboratory for EV technology, testing it to the most extreme level, as we've seen today."
