"World's fastest"?  How does 300 kilometres per hour sound?

During the recent 24 hour race, Nissan unveiled their ZEOD RC (Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car) electric racer.  With electric & internal combustion power plants plus batteries, it sounds like a hybrid. Capacity to run with the internal combustion engine or electric power alone, suggests its a serial hybrid.

Nissan believes it will be among the front runners at next year's 24 hour race at Le Mans.
