Until now the highest speed record electric car while traveling on a round of laps on this circuit held by the MINI E, a MINI Cooper with electricity.

But lately a British manufacturer had to cancel its production plans. EX1 Peugeot Concept, design a sports car with ultra futuristisnya that much different from today's sports car design, nor has any production plans in the near future in the form and figure like the concept.
