The world's record of the fastest electric car officially broke by Chevrolet Corvette that penetrate the speed of 300 km/h (186.8 mph). Otomatically, this record makes it as the fastest electric car in the world.
Genovation's GXE, a modified 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, is now the world's fastest street-legal all-electric car with a top speed of 300 km/h. The vehicle is capable of pumping out more than 700 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1YyKk5)
The electric version Corvette is a proof that electric cars could also give the sensation of driving at high speed, even beyond the Tesla production car has abundant torque. The record of 300 km/h are certified by the International Mile Racing Association (IMRA), beat the record of 284 km/h (177 mph) which previously recorded by an electric car prototype from Finland.

Indeed Chevrolet does not produce the Corvette electric version, but the car is the result of Genovation Cars project that conjure a Corvette Z06 into a full electric car powered. Tests were carried out to the increasing car's performance study, driven by Johnny Bohmer with the passenger Robert Simpson in the Proving Ground/Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

"We are very happy that we managed to test the development of this record. Based on our experience so far, we are confident the car will be very strong as when we break the record in the first day of testing," said Genovation CEO Andrew Saul.

This car project named GXE have a series of battery management systems, inverters, batteries and an electric motor which called by Genovation produces a combination of power 700 hp and 813 Nm of torque.
In addition to speed, GXE also claimed to have a mileage of up to 209 km under normal driving conditions. Asnd as a sports car, GXE also developed to produce nearly 50/50 weight distribution and the low gravity point optimization. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GENOVATION CARS | TECHTIMES]
