In fact, <strong>the AMZ team broke its first acceleration world record in 2014 and did so again in 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, a competing team from the University of Stuttgart has claimed the record, which has been dropping from the 1.7-second zone to stand at 1.461 seconds as of September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when we say that <strong>the AMZ team has smashed the record, we are talking about cutting more than a third of the time<\/strong>. An extraordinary leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New World Record \u2013 from 0 to 100 km\/h in 0.956 seconds\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mvoFemftA34?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How? Well, it&#8217;s not by adding thousands of horsepower or reducing huge amounts of weight: <strong>this little kart weighs 140 kg and only needs 326 hp through its four hub motors to get the job done<\/strong>. The best part is that the driverless power-to-weight ratio is more than 2.3 hp per kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And traction is the key here. There&#8217;s no power worth a damn if you can&#8217;t get it to the ground, and that&#8217;s where the AMZ team has made a pretty big improvement. Like the McMurtry Spierling and <strong>the Gordon Murray T.50, AMZ&#8217;s car, called Mythen, uses a vacuum fan system that sucks the car to the ground<\/strong>, creating considerable downforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, <strong>Maggetti recorded a blazing sprint from 0 to 100 km\/h in 0.956 seconds<\/strong>, with triple figures on the dashboard just 12.3 meters from the starting line. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-guinnes-record-that-can-break-rebel-moon-the-new-star-wars-on-netflix?ex=CS-1537.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">These figures have been certified by Guinness<\/a>, and the team does not expect the record to fall any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wow.
