""Jamais Contente"" Electric Speed Record Car 1906 on Salt Lake
Two contemporary Venturi world-record cars race across the salt lake at Bonneville, side by side with a pioneer of early racing. T"&"oday, battery-powered cars are no match for their jet-powered rivals, but in 1899, racer Camille Jenatzy claimed the record in the electric Jamais Contente (left car in picture #314). Over a century later, Venturi is at the forefront of designers and manu"&"facturers of record-setting vehicles powered by alternative energy. The Buckeye Bullet 2 (right in picture) sets the standard for hydrogen-powered vehicles, while its stablemate, the Buckeye Bullet 2.5, holds the record for electric vehicles. Both can rea"&"ch speeds of nearly 500 kilometers per hour.
