Around The World in 84 Days

The guys from Imperial College London have courageously entered their third week of globetrotting to show off one of the world’s fastest electric cars. The electric supercar SRZERO was developed under the roof of

the Imperial College to show the world that electric cars can be cool and quick.

The 84-day journey begun on July 4 as they left Alaska for a 16,000 mile journey to Argentina.

So far the car has been a particular favourite with Canadian cops who enjoy pulling them over on regular basis to check the car.

The car can reach 125mph and its range is 250 miles. Using a conventional wall socket, it will take around 8 hours to recharge the batteries. It is rather heavy for the sports car – 1.2 tonnes, however, almost half of the weight is made up by the lithium iron phosphate battery pack. Hopefully by the time they reach Argentina, they will have proven the Americas that an electric car is a good idea. What about Europe?
