SONOMA, California ... Sept. 7, 2012

 

KleenSpeed Technologies, Inc. took the all-electric scrambls / KleenSpeed EVX-11 racecar to SONOMA Raceway and established a benchmark track record for electric vehicles on Friday, September 7 at the 2nd annual Accelerating Sustainable Performance Summit in Sonoma.

 

In a four lap record run the scrambls / KleenSpeed EVX-11 posted a top time of 1 minute, 35.99 seconds over the 12-turn, 2.52-mile Sonoma Valley road course, which equates to an average speed of 93.75 miles per hour. It reached a top speed of 130 mph.  Kevin Mitz, of Kevin Mitz Motorsports was in the cockpit for the record run. 

 

"I really consider this my home track and the car really felt good today. The KleenSpeed powertrain is really amazing and the torque characteristics are very different from a conventional engine. This makes the EVX-11 a very unique, and fast, racecar."

"I think the car has about four or five more seconds in it on this track with further chassis development, but Kevin posted a good time so I'm delighted. We invite any and all EV challengers to come out and try and beat it.  Competition will drive our technology and lead to further innovation in our products and systems."
