      I honestly have doubts as to whether any car will ever be able to go faster. We have done a search that covered the entire globe to find a suitable location to run the car, and South Africa is the only location that is suitable at the moment – and that is only just long enough!
      If anything were to go faster, it would need to have a larger power source (which would make the car larger, so more power needed, etc etc), a new form of propulsion, or a longer track. If it was accelerating quicker, it could be done on the same length track, but then you start adding extra pressure on the driver…
      I think we are pushing things to as far as they currently go with current technology 😀
