“I didn’t have a chance to go flat in the second. I’m afraid to go through those guys,” he said, after a picture of him shortly running towards two parked cars.
Biden is the original owner of the car, which was a wedding gift from his father, who worked at a Chevrolet dealership. During his tenure as vice president, he complained that he was not allowed to drive it for safety reasons.
Biden controlled the operation of the sports car for an episode of Jay Leno’s garage just before the 2016 presidential election, but in a safe facility rather than on the road. Biden told Leno that he had already driven it to 160 mph, however, his 327-cubic-inch style had a more sensitive official speed close to 130 mph.
In the new video, which appears to have been filmed while traveling to his property in Wilmington, Delaware, Biden says the car brings back memories of his father and son Beau.
He asks rhetorically, “How can American-made cars stop being there?”
According to the Automotive News Knowledge Center, more than 10 million cars were manufactured in the United States in 2019.
“We can return to the 21st century market by switching to electric vehicles,” Biden continued.
Then he says “they” tell me they make an electric Corvette that can roll at two hundred mph.
Chevrolet has shown no plans for such a vehicle, but Genovation, in Maryland, is promoting a changed Corvette to run on electric power that holds the maximum speed record for electric cars allowed on the road at 210.2 mph.
The Genovation GXE costs $750,000, plus the value of the donor car on which it is based.
