Currently the fastest road legal electric car in the world is an Enfield 8000 (slightly modified).
Built in 1974 during the oil crisis; it originally had 8HP and top speed of 40 mph. This one has been reworked by a "nutter" called Johnny in the UK; who has replaced the 40 year old technology with some new stuff! now has 800HP He drag races it against some pretty quick V8 stuff, you have to see the video, it's mental! The sound of the v8 on the video is the car in the RH lane that came second! Mad dogs and Englishmen! |

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

This summer it ran a best 1/4 mile of 9,86 seconds and 121 mph.
More info here: http://flux-capacitor.co.uk/worlds-quickest-street-legal-ev/ It would be great for zooming around Paris!
