Electronics Weekly reported in June on the SRzero electric sportscar, from the Energy Futures Lab at Imperial College in London - they completed two orbits of the M25 motorway on a single charge, breaking the one lap record set by the folk at FHM magazine driving a Tesla. Gadget Master is happy to highlight their full mission - the Imperial's Racing Green Endurance (RGE) team is attempting to drive the full 26,000km of the Pan American Highway this month.
There's a wealth of material on the RGE website, including Live Tracking of their route across 14 countries on the two continents, from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska down to Ushuaia, at the tip of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego.
In particular, check out the photo set of the team building the car.
Check out this video of the first ever high speed test of the SR-Zero vehicle, at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Peterborough.
The team declares:
Our project aim is to turn around the public perception of electric vehicles as slow, unattractive and of limited range. So, is there a more perfect challenge than tackling the longest road on the planet in our electric supercar?And we wish them well!
