Nissan Leaf sets speed record - backwards

It might not be the fastest car going forwards, but very few cars can get close to it in reverse.

The Nissan Leaf managed to go up the Goodwood Hill Climb at an average of 55 mph. Given that the uphill course includes one 90 degree corner and a couple of other quite tricky ones, that means the Leaf must have been travelling well over 60 mph at times.
