I was driving my car listed above 300C, and all of a sudden, I lost power, it just shut down and would not start again. When I try to start it, it makes a whiny sound.

This sounds like the battery shorted out internally which happens, to be sure let's use this guide to help confirm the problem and I have included how to change the battery out as well.

When changing the battery use eye protection and gloves, do not touch anything with the gloves because there might be battery acid on and around the area. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.
