Fifty years after he became the first drag racer to break 200 miles per hour in the quarter-mile, Don Garlits is aiming to hit that mark again — only this time in an electric car.
The 82-year-old’s Swamp Rat 37 is a high-tech dragster fitted with a 2000 horsepower electric powertrain that’s as quick as it is quiet.
The car is a collaborative effort with several electric racing specialists, including battery manufacturer High Tech Systems and powertrain builder Lawless Industries.
