The car named ”Electric Blue” averaged a mind-blowing 204.9 miles-per-hour over two runs at the Bonneville Salt Flats this month, beating its own previous record from 2011 by nearly 50 miles-per-hour. Kelly Hales, an electrical engineering student at the university and captain of the car”s design team, said in a written statement that when they set the record three years ago they felt like they left a lot on the table, adding that on paper they thought they could get 200 miles-per-hour but they never had the conditions just right; until now, Huffington Post reported. Electric Blue competes in the ”E1” racing class, since it”s electrically powered and weighs less than 1,100 pounds. The sleek blue-and-white streamliner is made of lightweight carbon fiber and powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries. Its spaceship-like design has been modified by dozens of students over the course of 10 years. Following the record-setting run, the car has been retired, according to the design team. Dr. Mike Miles, a manufacturing professor at the university who worked as an advisor on the project, said in a statement that this was kind of the last hurrah, adding that they wanted to give them one final shot.
