A racecar driver breaks a world record with no hands

You might get whiplash watching The Koenigsegg One:1 went from 0 to 100 (and then to 211 mph) real quick.

Koenigsegg, a Swedish auto maker responsible for some of the fastest and most technologically advanced cars in the world, has made the One:1, which boasts a 1:1 ratio of horsepower to kilograms, making it one of the fastest, lightest cars ever created.

Watch their test-driver accelerate the One:1 from 0 to 211 mph, and then back down to 0, using only his hands when needed. He manages to set a world record, albeit an unofficial one, with no hands.

If you’re thinking about grabbing a One:1, you’ll have to wait. Koenigsegg only made 6, and they’re all sold.
