Tesla has pretty much cornered the luxury electric vehicle market and has even given the world a superfast electric version with its Model S equipped with Ludicrous Mode. However, none of Elon Musk’s brainchildren hold the title for the fastest electric vehicle.
That honor goes to the Genovation GXE that recently set a land speed world record for its class with a speed of 205.6 mph.
The GXE (Genovation Extreme Electric) comes in the form of a revamped 2006 Corvette Z06, but the V8 powerplant that the car came with has been swapped out in favor of electric motors that make 600 horsepower and create 570 pound-feet of torque.
And while the GXE’s 130-mile range doesn’t touch any of Tesla’s EVs, it does boast a 50-50-weight distribution and low stance that definitely sets it apart from its rivals.
Genovation’s GXE set the 205.6-mph record at the Space Florida Shuttle Landing Facility, beating its own record-setting 186.8 mph time that it ran this past February. The GXE isn’t actually on streets or available for purchase quite yet as Genovation is still undergoing testing and development.
