World Records

American rider Patrick Cornell, also known as "Vroom Old Man," has notched up 201,901 miles (324,928 km) over 12 months across the USA and Canada aboard his 2025 Indian Pursuit. Why, you ask? To raise money for the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation.

The hugest electric motorhome at the 2026 Caravan Salon featured a Mercedes eActros truck and Bliss RV module. Not only was it among the most impressive vehicles there, it's about to further impress with a global road trip targeting 1,000 km/charge.

Nissan has set a new economy record, driving a Qashqai e-Power 1,230 miles across Colombia on one tank. Its special hybrid system uses a gasoline engine only to charge the batteries, offering EV-style driving without ever plugging in.

British engineer Stephen Wallis has just shattered a speed barrier with his radio-controlled car, called Mach Reaper. His RC car passed 250 mph twice, breaking his own record within a two-week span and becoming the fastest on Earth.

For decades, the idea of a sub-two-hour marathon occupied a near-mythical place in endurance sport. That barrier finally fell in an official race at the 2026 London Marathon on April 26th, when Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe ran 1:59:30.

For most people, it’s hard to fathom what true speed on a motorcycle actually feels like. It's even harder to imagine what it would be like to be atop a steam-powered bike that covers a quarter of a mile at 192.94 mph (310.5 km/h) in just 5.503 seconds.

Most drone engineers pick a lane. You build for speed, or you build for range. Luke and Mike Bell, the father-and-son team from South Africa already famous for pushing electric quadcopters to velocities that seemed positively absurd, appear to be building for both.

Australian aerospace engineer Benjamin Biggs has just clocked 411 mph with a battery-powered, remote-controlled drone. No official Guinness stamp yet, but it's faster than the current record held by South African father-son team Mike and Luke Bell.

A British hobbyist has applied multicopter drone thinking to radically simplify the steering and powertrain of his high-performance radio-control car – and absolutely demolished the world top speed record in the process.

Father-son duo Luke and Mike Bell, from Cape Town, South Africa, have set a new quadcopter drone speed world record. Their Peregreen V4 drone clocked a top speed of 657.59 km/h (408 mph) to reclaim their Guinness World Record.

The world’s fastest enduro has climbed higher than any motorcycle ever has… unassisted, as part of a Guinness World Record attempt. The record altitude was achieved by a Stark Varg EX, atop Los Ojos del Salado: the world's highest active volcano.

"You can either go to Vegas, or you can go to The Hacienda," is what got this world-record-setting idea off the ground and into the air for a couple of months. Yep, I said months.
