Though we’re not too much into electric cars here at the Insider, we are very into fast cars. And the Buckeye Bullet, a student-built, 100% electric-powered land-speed streamliner from the kids at Ohio State University’s Automotive Research Center is both electric and fast—way fast.

On Tuesday of this week, the Buckeye Bullet electrocuted the electric streamliner record at Bonneville with a scorching 291 mph. The next day, they did it again with a buckeye-popping 307 mph average (320 mph top speed in case you’re wondering). Unfortunately on Thursday, the team really tried to push it, but the Bullet succumbed to a severe case of clutch carnage. Check the record breaking run at their blog—The Buckeye Bullet.

Highly anticipated to some—mythological pipedream to others, the 2010 Porsche type 301 has finally seen the light of day. And not only has one of these Stuttgart masterpieces been spotted, but the auto-insiders over at RidePros.com actually got their hands on one and conducted a full-blown test drive. Lucky buggers. Due to copyright issues, we can only display the logo here. For images of the type 301 and the entire salivating road test, follow the link to RidePros.

Warning, the following video contains shockingly graphic footage of a Datsun 1200 Coupe beating the bejezus out of a Nissan GT-R—watch at your own risk.

If you’re not familiar, the Datsun 1200 is actually a 25 year project in the making—dubbed the White Zombie. It’s a homebuilt, full-electric street/strip car. In fact, it’s the world’s fastest street-legal electric car.

So, hang onto your extension cord, because with performance numbers like this, green-performance is here to stay.

Ferrari’s next Grand Tourer simply sounds bad ass. Heavy camouflage hides the exterior, but there is no masking the high-whine of an Italian-bred V-12 powerplant. Thank you, Enzo’s ghost.
