Soon an electric LSR!

Multiple Tesla motors driving the turbine shaft, the afterburner is a bit tricky.
The Lithium-ion batteries will be run into superheat then the airflow will be ducted over them for the final push.
Hoping to stage the individual battery cells to ramp it up.

Uh, there's "Buckeye Bullet" series of vehicles.

Average speed was ~341 mph, the last speed trials, I believe.
