The record was certified by the International Mile Racing Association (IMRA). The previous record, which also was held by Genovation, stood at 186.8mph.
“We are thrilled that after setting a record earlier this year, we were able to further enhance the GXE’s performance and break our own record,” said Andrew Saul, CEO of Genovation. “We have managed to create a car that is both exhilarating for drivers and gentle on the environment.”
The GXE is a Z06 Corvette that has been re-engineered by Genovation to be a performance driven all-electric vehicle. The GXE includes a state-of-the-art battery management system, inverters, batteries and electric motors that produces 660hp and 600lb/ft of torque. The car is said to have a range of 130 miles during normal driving operation with a near 50/50 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity.
Genovation is currently in the testing and development phase for its GXE and is planning to begin accepting pre-orders for limited edition vehicles in Q3 2016.
