Battery record breaker

Battery record breaker uses AA cells to top 70mph

Battery record breaker

21st August 2007

The fastest battery-powered car has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records – using standard household AA cells!

Japan’s Oxyride racer was a little more power hungry than the average TV remote control, though – it needed 192 cells to hit its top speed of 75mph.

Driver Takashi Sudo secured his and the car’s place in the history books at a test track near Tokyo. With its carbon fibre-reinforced plastic frame, the car weighs 84lb, and was a joint venture between a local electrical firm and Osaka Sangyo University.
