We often underestimate the humble AA battery or the pencil cell, but Panasonic unleashed its true potential with the Worlds first AA battery-powered plane and now with a car which runs at 100 km/h and is powered by AA cells. Powering this space age car is a battery pack with 192 Panasonic Oxyride AA cells which are 1.5 times more powerful than normal alkaline batteries. The car is 3.3 meters long has a F1 styled cabin complete with a fin and rudder for better stability and control. In the runs it touched a max speed of 122 km/hr thus entering into the Guinness book of records. The body is made from aramide honeycomb which is also used in bulletproof vests.
