The White Zombie is a 1972 Datsun 1200 that’s been modified to be 100 percent electric. It’s boxy, it’s small, and aside from a couple slogans, it’s got a bland white paint job. It’s entirely street legal. And it’s one of the fastest cars in the world.
In the burgeoning world of electric drag racing, the White Zombie is something of a legend. Its owner, John Wayland, enters the Zombie in regular drag racing competition, then steers it to victory against souped-up, non-electric Ferraris, Corvettes, and BMWs—with ease. And as he does, he shatters world record after world record.
