Now Nissan has
revealed its prototype Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car (ZEOD RC)
that will debut at next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans — and which the
company claims is “the world’s fastest electric racing car” that can
reach more than 186 mph.
But
like Aston Martin’s hydrogen-powered Rapide, the ZEOD RC will also
require gasoline to run, since current battery technology doesn’t offer
the energy storage or fast-charging capability needed to complete 24
hours of racing in a pure electric car. Andy Palmer, executive vice
president at Nissan, said that the driver would be able to switch
between electric and gasoline operation on the fly.
