Back in 2017, Genovation set a new speed record for a street-legal electric vehicle. Then, the electrified C6 Corvette hit 209 miles per hour (336.3 kilometers per hour). It wasn’t until early 2018 when a production version made its debut. While deliveries should commence soon, if they haven’t already, the crew at Genovation cars decided to return to Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing facility for another record-setting speed attempt, and they were successful, hitting 210.2 mph (338.28 kph).
Yes, there are faster, petrol-powered cars out there that are setting their own records, but Genovation and electric vehicles march to the beat of their own drum. The description under the video that highlights the electrified Corvette’s record run says the crew had to cancel their first attempt due to rain. However, even while battling massive crosswinds, Genovation was able to set a new record. Though it appears Genovation isn’t done setting records, according to the description’s cryptic conclusion.
