the all new concept car from an unknown private company

Another engineering marvel through human ingenuity is the Nissan iV, a car created envisioning a zero-emission future. This vehicle runs on electricity, thus being called an electric vehicle or simply EV. Other than its source of energy being more environment friendly, the materials used to create this car is also made from lightweight and strong materials 

If you thought that fastest means only Veyron, Porsche or Mercedes, then I might tell you are wrong about this. Why? Because the first speed record was established more than 100 years ago, then in 1898, Count Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat of France drove an electric car at a speed of 39.24 miles per hour. For our time this is not quite a speed record, but for 1898 is quite something.

Back then only the wheel-powered vehicles were eligible as racing car. The "wheels era" last untill 1967, when jet and rocket-propelled vehicles were allowed, and began the ’Unlimited Era’.

In the "Unlimited Era" the land speed records increased dramaticaly so in our days the land speed record for gas engine cars is 763.035 mph and was established in 1997 by Andy Green driving the Thrust SSC.
