A milestone in automotive history was recently established. Imagine an electric car so fast that it leaves even Formula 1 vehicles behind in terms of acceleration. We present the Mythen WR, a small single-seater that achieved the impressive feat of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in less than one second.

How the Mythen WR Surpassed Formula 1 Vehicles in Acceleration

This electric car, a creation of the AMZ Racing team, now holds the title of the fastest car in the world in acceleration, surpassing even current Formula 1 vehicles. With a recorded acceleration time of 0.956 seconds, it is an optimized version of the 2019 Formula Student car, a European equivalent of Formula SAE.

The fastest car in the world is powered by four electric motors that distribute a total of 322 horsepower, one at each wheel, for phenomenal acceleration.

Electric Car With the Fastest Acceleration in the World Joined the Guinness World Records

This electric car was built by students from ETH Zurich and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland. Driven by pilot Kate Maggetti, the vehicle was officially recognized by the Guinness World Records, breaking the previous record of 1.461 seconds set by students from the University of Stuttgart in Germany.

This academic project not only challenges conventional notions about electric cars but also highlights the vital role that educational institutions can play in innovation.

While the Mythen WR is a monumental achievement, it is important to note that it still lags behind Top Fuel dragsters in terms of acceleration, which reach 100 km/h in less than 0.5 seconds with a load of 5g.

However, while these dragsters are immense beasts, the Mythen WR is a small single-seater that stands as a testament to the untapped potential of electric cars.

The Mythen WR is more than just a fast car; it is a shining example of human ingenuity and the promising future of electric cars. This milestone is a significant step for the automotive industry, demonstrating how far electric technology has come and how far it still has to go.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Larger than the Toyota Hilux and with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, the new MG U9 2026 features a 2.5 turbodiesel engine, 520 Nm, 4×4 traction with three locks, and an almost full-size build.

For the first time in history, a submarine cable will descend to four thousand meters deep under the ice of the North Pole to ensure that the internet between Europe and Asia no longer depends on conflict zones in the Middle East.

While the world discusses geopolitics, China is quietly closing a deal with its Kazakh neighbor to secure grain supplies during any global food crisis, with more than 3,600 Kazakh companies already able to export directly to the Chinese market.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Amid the United States’ economic blockade, China delivers 15,000 tons of rice to Cuba as part of a 60,000-ton donation personally approved by Xi Jinping. The package includes 80 million dollars and solar panels for hospitals.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Now NASA comes: Brazilian transforms pickups into “war tanks” in Goiânia by replacing wheels with giant tracks costing up to R$ 120,000 to tackle mud, farms, and impossible terrains.

Another Chinese giant prepares to enter Brazil: BAIC bets on the Arcfox T1, an electric hatchback that promises to compete with the BYD Dolphin, BYD Dolphin Mini, and Geely EX2 with a larger size and a range of up to 425 km.

Fiat Strada Turbo addresses the lack of power in the 1.3 versions with an engine of up to 130 hp, CVT transmission, and Sport mode, but evaluation reveals that the best-selling pickup truck in Brazil could still offer better braking, a larger screen, and more comfort for rear passengers.
