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. 📹 All source footage can be found here 👉 https://bit.ly/3tZWP3B 📧 Get in touch with us: hello@driver61.com 👉 Follow Driver61 on: - Instagram- @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61Insta - TikTok - @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61TikTok - Twitter - https://twitter.com/scottkmansell 🛞 My Sim Kit: - Fanatec DD2: https://bit.ly/driver61-fanatec - SImlabs P1X Pro: https://simlab.prf.hn/l/ZZ9AkG5 #0to100 #Formula1 #Driver61
