341 MPH Buckeye Bullet breaks its own electric-car speed record

A sunny day in Utah, a dry salt track and the persistence of Ohio State University's ace team of student and graduate automotive electrical engineers combined to give the team its latest land-speed record for an electric vehicle. Racing across the Bonneville Salt Flats on Monday, the Venturi Buckeye Bullet 3 hit an average speed of 341.4 mph, blowing past the previous record (its own) of 307.6 mph.
