The Electric Vehicle, Called “Mythen”, Was Developed by AMZ Students and Reached 100 km/h in an Incredible 0.956 Seconds. Check Out the Video!

Swiss students from the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich (AMZ), ETH Zurich, and the University of Lucerne recently achieved an impressive milestone in the electric vehicle industry. They broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest acceleration in an electric vehicle (EV) with their completely handmade electric car. This remarkable feat is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of these students and puts the Swiss EV ahead of the global competition, according to Electrek.

The “mythen,” as the handmade electric vehicle is called, achieved a remarkable acceleration. It went from 0 to 100 km/h in an incredible 0.956 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 1.461 seconds, set by a German team from the University of Stuttgart. This extraordinary feat was officially recognized by Guinness World Records during the test at Switzerland Innovation Park in Duebendorf.

Innovation in Every Component of the Electric Vehicle

The surprising achievement was no accident. Every component of the electric vehicle was developed meticulously by the students, using printed circuit boards (PCBs) and optimizing them for speed. The car is notably lightweight, weighing only about 140 kilograms, thanks to smart materials like lightweight carbon honeycomb and aluminum.

Accelerated Competition: Switzerland vs. Germany

The competition for the world record in EV acceleration has been intense between the Swiss AMZ team and the German team from the University of Stuttgart. AMZ prevailed in 2014 and 2016, while the German team took the lead in the following years. The question remains whether AMZ will be able to reclaim the title next year, as accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in less than a second is a notable challenge for any competitor.

To provide better perspective on this remarkable achievement, the “mythen” is 1.5 seconds faster than the Tesla Model S Plaid, which takes approximately 2.5 seconds to reach the same speed. Additionally, it is nearly a second faster than the Rimac Nevera hypercar, which does it in 1.81 seconds. This achievement highlights the incredible progress being made in the electric vehicle industry and demonstrates the exciting potential of the future of electric mobility.

The success of the “mythen” not only celebrates the ingenuity of Swiss students but also highlights the growing role that EVs are playing in the global automotive revolution, proving that innovation and speed can coexist in the world of electric vehicles.
