This car goes from 062 miles per hour in 0.956 of a second. This is the classic acceleration test, one that we all grew up using to compare cars.

A Formula 1 car will do it in about two and a half seconds, the fastest production car a Rimac Nevera will do it in 1.7 seconds and my trusty old VW Passat will do it in about 8.

But a group of students from AMZ Racing based at the Swiss university, ETH Zurich, made a car accelerate faster than anything else in the world and smashed through the previous record of 1.46 seconds.

So, I spoke with Eloi Roset from AMZ Racing to understand exactly how these ambitious students approached this crazy project, what challenges they needed to overcome and how they engineered a car that accelerates more than twice as quickly as an F1 car.
