Back in June, the team at Drayson Racing took its electric Le Mans prototype to the Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire, England, and set a new land speed record for electric vehicles. The competition-spec EV hit a top speed of 204.185 miles per hour, shattering the previous record that stood at 175 mph since 1974. And yet Lord Drayson and his compatriots weren't satisfied, so they set out for the Bonneville Salt Flats last month to see how much faster they could go. Unfortunately the dried-out lakebed was (ironically) flooded, so the plans were scrapped.
