Welcome to the home of the Venturi Buckeye Bullet

The world's first hydrogen fuel cell powered landspeed streamliner.

The Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2, nicknamed “La Jamais Contente” in tribute to the first vehicle to go faster than 60 mph (100 km/h) in 1899, will establish a record for an Hydrogen Fuel Cell Streamliner in Bonneville Salt Flats this coming September.

This ground-breaking vehicle is designed and built entirely by Ohio State University students with the guidance and support of OSU faculty and industry sponsors.

The Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2 program is taking landspeed racing to a new level with innovations in driver safety, driveline, electronics and packaging.

Buckeye Bullet 2 is expanding the legacy of its predecessor, the Buckeye Bullet 1. Buckeye Bullet 1 currently holds both national and international landspeed records at 315 mph and 272 mph respectively and was the first electric vehicle to break the 300 mph barrier. The successes and setbacks provided by the Buckeye Bullet 1 program have set the current Buckeye Bullet 2 team up for success in 2007.
