Where ‘toy’ ends, and ‘badass’ begins

Add to your personal list of things that don’t need to exist (everyone keeps one of those, right?) this remote-controlled car, which has the singular distinction of being the world’s fastest.

Nic Case designed the Schumacher Mi3 with one purpose in mind: to break the world record for fastest toy car – and boy howdy, has he done exactly that. This $4000 pocket rocket is made of carbon fibre, powered by an 11HP motor connected to a 12-cell battery pack, and travels at a cool 161.76 mph. In the event you’re unaware, that’s really damn fast – perhaps fast enough even that I can’t imagine this thing handling turns very well. Or, y’know, being very fun to play with at all.

In any case, thanks to the magic of the internet, you can witness for yourself the car’s record-breaking run by clicking the play button below. Awesome!
