that has stood for almost half a century is a clear indicator that Drayson’s research and development of the electric car is helping to change the notion that these vehicles should be reserved for earth-loving hippies. The secret to the B12 69/EV’s speed lies in its Drayson 4X2640 drivetrain which produces a monster 650kW and 850Bhp. We already know it can reach speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour but this car is certainly no slouch off the mark, going from zero to 60 in three seconds flat. And it’s this aspect of the vehicle that Lord Drayson loves to boast about. “It is not the outright speed that is most impressive about this record, but the engineering challenge of accelerating a 1,000kg electric vehicle on a short runway over a measured mile.” With such staggering performance you would expect this beast to let out quite a roar but one thing absent from this race car is
