The folks at Genovation have reached another electric milestone. The Maryland-based electric car manufacturer recently set a new top-speed record for street-legal electric cars with their black C6 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, reaching 209 miles power hour at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing facility. They also set a standing-mile record of 190.4 mph, eclipsing marks the company had previously set in 2016.

Officially called the Genovation GXE, the prototype has all the earmarks of a normal Corvette on the outside. Beneath the black skin, however, resides not one, but two electric motors that join forces to send over 700 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. The motors are positioned fore and aft to create 50/50 weight distribution – handling is very much a part of Genovation's vision of electric performance, though right now the group is focused on outright speed. Power is generated from a 44 kwh battery that, under normal driving conditions, can power the GXE for 150 miles before needing a recharge.
