The British are at it again, setting yet another world land speed record. This time, the record was set by Lord Drayson and his car, the Drayson B12 69/EV. This is a little different than other land speed records as the Drayson B12 69/EV is a fully electric car.

Lord Drayson drove his car to an amazing 204.185 mph in Yorkshire, England, setting the world electric land speed record for a lightweight electric car. His car had to weigh less than 1,000 kg, which is an amazing achievement in its own right considering the weight of batteries. Be sure to check out this amazing video.
