In late August this year a car, driven by 4 people in Germany, called the "Schluckspecht E" traveled a distance of 1013.8 miles on a single electric charge through modern technology and a lightweight design to shatter a previous record by over 600 km.
This car has been nicknamed "Boozer" or "Heavy Drinker" after a previous gas-guzzling car made by the same company in 1998.
Although the car might not be the fastest car, traveling at an average rate of 28 mph, it could be a possible breakthrough in modern science and stop any problems due to using gas in normal cars.
It traveled at the Bosch track in Boxberg, Germany for a total time of 36 hours and 12 minutes. The track is 2.945 km long, but the weather during the run varied from sunny to rainy.
The car was designed by Mrs. Sunmin Lee. The vehicle body is called Bow String Structure. It is very aerodynamic because it does not require an engine, or room for one. It has 14 lithium cobalt battery packs that power the two wheel-hub motors. A self-made monitoring system helps to make sure it is operated safely. With all of this lightweight technology, the car weighs an amazing 320 kg.
In my opinion, this could be a breakthrough in modern technology that will help us further develope futuristic cars.
