TL;DR

Students from the Academic Motorsports Club Zürich at ETH Zürich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts have built an electric mini racer, named "mythen," that can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 0.956 seconds, setting a new Guinness World Record. The 309-pound vehicle utilizes a lightweight carbon and aluminum honeycomb chassis, a specialized powertrain with 326 horsepower, and a vacuum cleaner-like suction system to stay glued to the ground. This achievement highlights the incredible capabilities of electric motor-powered drivetrains and the ongoing advancements in aerodynamics.
