An all-electric GenBeta Formula E single-seater racing car set a new indoor land speed record ahead of this past weekend’s final two races of Season 9 in London, clocking in at 135.9 miles per hour (218.71 kilometers per hour) in the hands of NEOM McLaren Formula E driver Jack Hughes.
The speed run was recorded on the 1,135-foot (346-meter) straight on the London E-Prix circuit, a portion of which is inside the ExCeL events arena. The previous record of 102.65 mph (165.2 kph) was set by a Porsche Taycan in 2021 inside the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
