Venturi_Jamais_Contente

The Venturi Buckeye Bullet, nicknamed “Venturi Jamais Contente” in France, is a 750 hp electric record car developed in partnership with the Ohio State University (OSU). This is part of a 3 year program during which this Streamliner will attempt to break, in 2010 and 2011, some other records and will establish new references in the high performance electric vehicle field.
September 25th, 2009, USAC (United States Auto Club) timekeepers have registered these two new world records, 302,88 mph (487,43 km/h) and 303,03 mph (487,67 km/h) (average speeds respectively calculated on 1 mile and 1 kilometer in both ways, subject to FIA homologation).
The Venturi Buckeye Bullet is now officially one of the few land vehicles having passed the symbolic speed of 300 mph.
