Nissan has unveiled the world's fastest electric car - the Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car. ZEOD RC for short, the car can reach speeds of up to 185mph and will make its race debut at next year's Le Mans 24 hours event in France
The ZEOD RC will compete under the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's 'Garage 56' entry at the 2014 Le Mans event - an additional spot on the grid especially for vehicles that showcase innovative technology.
Nissan unveiled the car to fans ahead of this weekend's Le Mans 24 Hour race.
The car will compete under the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's 'Garage 56' entry - an additional spot on the grid for vehicles that showcase new and innovative technology.
These trials will then be used to create technology for future electric road cars.
Nissan said it will showcase these developments as they happen on its YouTube channel and Nismo.TV.
The ZEOD RC design team was headed by Ben Bowlby who was recently appointed as Nissan's Director of Motorsport Innovation.
The technology in Nissan's ZEOD RC is a modified version of the electric engine used in its LEAF road car. The LEAF reaches top speeds of around 93mph while the ZEOD RC can achieve 185mph
Bowley said: 'The Nissan ZEOD RC is a natural progression that follows on from the development of the Nissan LEAF road car and the LEAF RC race car prototype.
'The technologies developed through the program will form part of future innovations for road cars.
'The program is designed to develop multiple technologies to evaluate how they could be used for a future return of Nissan at Le Mans. We are investigating multiple options.
The ZEOD RC model unveiled ahead of this weekend's Le Mans race is a prototype. Nissan plans to test various types of engine and electric technologies in the new car over the next year to increase its performance for the race
