A team of students at DeLaSalle School in Kansas City, Mo., in collaboration with engineers at Bridgestone America’s Technical Center in Akron have recently developed a new plug-in electric car which has been successfully tested on Bridgestone’s Texas Proving Grounds.
Being based on the chassis of the 2000 Lola Indy Car, this electric vehicle features ultra light-weight aerodynamic body, dressed with Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 tires. The car is also based on electric propulsion.
During tests, DeLaSalle electric car managed to get the equivalent of a 300mpg fuel economy and according to the team, it could set a new world record for efficiency.
