Guinness World Records: German engineer breaks speed records with fastest toy car ride | Watch

PTC Web Desk: In a turbocharged triumph, German engineering wiz Marcel Paul has zoomed his way into the Guinness World Records by clinching the title of the fastest modified toy car rider. Stepping into the fast lane of nostalgia, Marcel Paul left his childhood in the dust, pushing his downsized vehicle to a jaw-dropping speed of 148.454 km/h (92.24 mph), rewriting the record books in a spectacular fashion.

Guinness World Records, the global authority on extraordinary achievements, showcased this adrenaline-fueled accomplishment on Instagram. The heart-pounding video captured Paul almost reclining in style on his souped-up miniature car, tearing up the asphalt at the iconic Hockenheimring racetrack. The footage quickly became a social media sensation, racking up a staggering 650,000 views and 21,000 likes within a single day. Viewers were left in awe as Paul transformed a childhood fantasy into a high-speed reality.

The video's popularity soared across social platforms, with users chiming in with intriguing comments. "Ferrari at the price of a bicycle," marveled one Instagram user. Another exclaimed, "I want to do that; where can I sign up?" Concerns about the daredevilry were voiced too, with a user cautioning, "Nope, it looks dangerous. But well done to the record holder." Another user applauded, "Finally, a good world record."

According to Guinness World Records, this extraordinary achievement was the culmination of 10 months of unwavering dedication and was fueled by Paul's admiration for the iconic DeLorean's time travel speed in "Back to the Future." Paul's prowess in engineering not only secured him a coveted spot in the record books, but also catapulted him to global recognition for his ingenious spirit and lightning-fast skills.
