Two Tesla electric motors and over 550 km / h.  Set a new speed record for electric vehicles

We are talking about the official US national record and the unofficial world record. The fact is that the team did not start the race in the opposite direction, which is necessary to set an official world record. But they still managed to reach a top speed of 574.5 km / h with an average of 568 km / h. And this is 19 km / h faster than the official world record.

The record is also interesting in that Little Giant actually relies on a pair of modified Tesla engines. The creators of the car believe that in the future they will be able to reach speeds of 644 km / h (400 mph). And these are not just dreams, since during the current race, already at the finish line, the streamliner still continued to accelerate.
