Washington, May 22 (EFE).- The development and production of batteries for electric vehicles goes beyond a race between automobile companies and has become a matter of State for the US in its dispute with China for world hegemony.
A small American automaker has just secured the title of world's fastest production car. SSC North America announced Monday that their Tuatara hypercar reached an average speed of 316.11 mph. According to CNN, the record-breaking feat came during two dashes outside Las Vegas. The vehicle was tested on a seven-mile stretch of a Nevada highway on Saturday. The car also reached the highest speed ever achieved on a public road, at 331.15 mph. SSC confirmed that two independent witnesses were on-site to verify the world records.
