The company wants it to be the first electric vehicle to cross the finishing line.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will go all out during the race, so don\u2019t be shocked when you see an airborne Endurance. We are still working on our race vehicle and we can give tough competition to our gasoline-powered competitors provided we don\u2019t need to stop for a charge,\u201d said Ryan Hallett.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The vehicle that would be entering the race is named Endurance Beta skateboard, and it is built on the company’s electric chassis platform.
