87-mph electric unicycle sounds like instant death … and scary fun

Posted on by

With the all-new V13 Challenger, InMotion looks to hit new levels of speed and excitement (older InMotion e-unicycle pictured)

After springing its electric unicycle (EUC) lineup for full off-roading, electric transport specialist InMotion is upping the ante (and danger) once again. The all-new V13 Challenger debuts as the fastest, most powerful one-wheeler in the world, according to the Chinese company. Capable of putting out a peak of 10,000 watts and powering up to speeds of 87 mph (140 km/h), the V13 is more explosive than many electric two-wheelers. An improved suspension, modular design and updated electronics promise to deliver a ride that’s as safe and personalized as it is ferocious.

SSC Tuatara owner Dr. Larry Caplan has hit a crazy 295 mph on a short runway track in Florida

The SSC Tuatara is officially the world’s fastest car, but it’s not the world’s first 300 mph production car. That title’s still up for grabs after YouTubers called shenanigans on SSC’s claimed 316 mph run in 2020. But this car sure looks capable.

Fastest-ever logic gates could make computers a million times faster

Posted on by

Synchronized pairs of laser pulses drive the fastest logic gates ever made, which could eventually give computers a million-fold speed boost

Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of computers, and researchers at the University of Rochester have now developed the fastest ones ever created. By zapping graphene and gold with laser pulses, the new logic gates are a million times faster than those in existing computers, demonstrating the viability of “lightwave electronics.”

This electric soil disperser claims to be the fastest, most powerful dirt bike on the planet

Barcelona startup Stark Future has launched this absolute weapon of an electric dirt bike, “to show that electric technology is superior to gasoline by outperforming all traditional motocross models available.” That right there, folks, is a promise of world domination – but looking at the spec sheet, we sure wouldn’t want to line up next to the Stark Varg on a 450.

Hennessey previews bizarre 2,400-hp six-wheel-drive hypercar

Posted on by

This back-of-a-bank-statement sketch will become Hennessey's first electric: a super-quirky six-wheel GT car with a diamond cabin layout

Extreme tuning deity John Hennessey, out of Texas, sure has some runs on the board with the combustion engine. Over the last 30 years, Hennessey and the Hennessey Performance team have plied their trade on more than 10,000 customer vehicles, churning out more thousand-horsepower all-American beasts than they can probably remember.

The Rolls-Royce Spirit of Innovation in action

An aircraft developed by Rolls-Royce to smash the speed record for an all-electric plane looks to have done just that, within three years of the being announced. The Spirit of Innovation took to the skies at a UK Ministry of Defence testing site last week were it reached a maximum speed of 623 km/h (387.4 mph), which Rolls-Royce says not only makes it the fastest electric aircraft, but the world’s fastest electric vehicle of any kind.

Twisted, 3,000-horsepower Chaos Ultracar offers a glimpse of the future

Posted on by

The Spyros Panopoulos Chaos will become, on debut, the most powerful street-legal production car in history, by a margin of more than 50%

Strap in, petrolheads. The spec sheet and bizarrely organic-looking design of this 3-D printed Greek widowmaker are almost as wild a ride as the 3,000-horsepower car itself. Spyros Panopoulos Automotive has unveiled its Chaos “Ultracar,” and if you’ve ever seen a wilder piece of functional art that can nail a quarter mile in 7.5 seconds, we’d love to hear about it.
