The Nissan Leaf made a new record for being the fastest vehicle traveling in reverse during this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Fastest Car in Reverse is The Nissan Leaf.
This task has been performed by Terry Grant, a professional stunt driver, who had to steer the Leaf backwards during the famous Goodwood Hillclimb.
Grant said "I had a great car at my disposal - with direct drive from the electric motor to its wheels, the Nissan LEAF can, in theory, go as fast backwards as it can forwards,". He also set a world record last year, driving a Nissan Juke.
On the opening day of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Nissan Leaf has set the record on Friday and on Saturday and Sunday. He managed to cut 26 seconds off Friday’s time. He drove on the Goodwood Hillclimb in reverse for over a mile (1.6 km) in 1m 37.02s and the average speed was 55 mph (88.5 km/h).
