World Record

Koenigsegg has once again moved the bar on car performance world records, beating its own markers in four different acceleration and deceleration metrics.

At this year’s Baikal Ice Motor Sports Festival, Jeep proved that its Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the fastest SUV in the world. Well, on ice at least.

The Skoda Octavia Combi vRS 245 is the holder of a new, very specific world record. However, unlike Jaguar, it’s not on the Nurburgring.

There’s plenty of automotive world records out there. Most of the ones that dominate the news are lap records or racing wins. But what about something a little less serious? Well, Sir Chris Hoy thought he’d have a go at the 60-second donut world record in his Caterham.

A couple of weeks back, Bugatti announced that it had set a new World Record. Its newest Chiron supercar had hit an astonishing performance benchmark.
