Genovation Cars currently holds the world record for the fastest street-legal electric vehicle with its Genovation Extreme Electric car. The GXE, which costs $330,000, managed to hit 205.6 mph earlier this year. Now, the Rockville, MD-based company is accepting pre-orders for its next-gen GXE, and it's getting a sizable price hike to $750,000.
The current GXE is based on the previous generation of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and features a 44-kWh battery pack, near-50/50 weight distribution, and a motor putting out roughly 600 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. The all-electric machine takes less than three seconds to get to 60 mph and has a range of roughly 130 miles – with a light foot. While those are definitely impressive figures, the next-gen GXE sound just slightly better.
