Last month, Nobuhiro �Monster� Tajima broke his own record at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb with a sub 10 minutes time in a 910-horsepower modified Suzuki SX4 racecar.
Now, Nissan�s first all-electric car, the LEAF, has tackled the 156 turns of the �Race to the Clouds�. Naturally, �Monster� Tajima can rest assured that his record remains safe.
That�s not to say that the LEAF driven by Chad Hord didn�t record a respectable time. After all, 14 minutes and 33 seconds with an average speed of 51.2 mph (82.4 km/h) is not to be laughed at for an EV that used just 46% of its charge to cover the demanding 12.42 miles (20 km) hill climb.
Watch the LEAF climb the Pikes Peak after the jump.
