World's Fastest

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 launch of the Varg SM marks the start of a new chapter for Stark. The Spanish-Swedish manufacture calls it the “world’s most advanced electric supermoto” and with good reason.

The Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+ held the crown for the world's fastest car since 2019. It took six long years for a worthy contender to not just step up but snatch that feat from Bugatti like it was nothing … in the form of an EV, no less!

The Nürburgring record was last set by Chevy’s Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X, snatching the record from Ford’s Mustang GTD. It was only a matter of time before Ford came back for vengeance. Who would have thought it would be on a Ford Transit?

According to a new filing, BYD plans to launch a new 'Track Edition' of the Yangwang U9. The company felt that 1,300 horses weren’t enough and added four more powerful electric motors.

As if producing the world’s fastest electric enduro motorcycle wasn’t enough, Stark Future has gone ahead and updated the Varg MX with “advanced updates in powertrain, chassis design, and software features."

Enjoy some hairy onboard footage as this alien spaceship of a sailboat records the second-fastest speed in history. The outright record is now well within reach, and this outrageous kite-powered boat is designed to absolutely smash it.

It's official: a supermoto version of the world's fastest electric, the Stark Varg is coming Stateside! A street-legal hooligan version of the motocrosser would be pretty wild. Just imagine the power you’d have at the twist of the throttle.

Italy has produced many of the fastest drivers on the planet, and now the fastest car-driving AI too. Self-driving software from the country's largest science university has set a new record for the quickest speed achieved in an autonomous car.

Two new videos from Chinese companies make it clear: it'll soon be no use trying to run from robots. Rapid upgrades in speed and agility mean robot dogs can now sprint at near-Olympic pace, and humanoids are running smoothly over tough terrain.

The magnificently overpowered Stark Varg has been remixed and released as a street-legal electric enduro bike – and due to weird laws in certain areas, you may not even need a motorcycle license to ride this 80-horsepower, 120-kg (265-lb) monster.
