This title is clickbait - not on the premise that its wrong, but that it is misleading because it leaves out pertinent information.

Amazing work 👍 One suggestion for futur record attempts: how about setting a minimum driver weight (if your lighter add weights...). Since the car is so light the drivers weight has a very significant impact and therefore should be a somewhat controlled variable imo.
It also effects grip. I think the whole weight/delivery of torque combo is very sensitive, and it probably doesn't work with a lighter or heavier driver.
@@rielnotermansYes, I’m sure they fine-tuned it based on road conditions, temperatures, power, weight, and drag. Fantastic work. An ideal setup would be a system that can adapt to the conditions after a couple tries. It may already be a hybrid - a mix of both.
@@rielnotermans Mass definitely affects acceleration, which is why they use aero/suction to increase downforce without adding more mass (other than the suction equipment).
Why would you make the driver a minimum weight? That is the whole reason race car drivers are skinny. That and fat people won't fit. Getting the lightest driver you can is racing 101. When I used to street race motorcycles I was only 125 pounds.

F*ck i got licensing passes quiker than that lol. Must be something goofy about their contest like 1 AA battery or you gotta use a stock toothbrush motor or something. NHRA got at least 8 classes that go that fast and do it about 30 times a year. We got a damned TV show on for like 15 years with streetcars that go that fast. I dont get it.
Well this is specifically the electric record, and they just dropped it by 50% Give it another few years and the electric cars will be competing against top fuel too.
ProMod street cars are faster than that. Im afraid to hurt their feelings about top fuel car hitting 60mph in .350 seconds. Teslas a sub 1 second if you cut all the sh*t off em and retune.
Brittany Force recorded the fastest run in Top Fuel history during qualifying at the 2022 NHRA Finals in Pomona - beating her own record of 338.48 mph, set just a month earlier at the NHRA Midwest Nationals in St Louis, Missouri. Her elapsed time was 3.641 seconds. Force went on to win the Top Fuel championship for the second time. thats miles per hour.
@@flipfloptanlines926 it's like a 1kw battery. It could charge on any decent home solar array in a few minutes. Meanwhile you need 15 gallons of nitromethane for top fuel for one run that's about 1,000 USD in fuel per run.

That’s pretty cool. A top fuel dragster does 0-100 km/h in 0.4 seconds and 0-100 mph in 0.9 so, they’re damn close to those times. Wonder how long before these times are equaled or bettered?

@@stashoneill 0.556 seconds is an enormous difference when talking about numbers so small. It took this car 2.39x longer to reach 60mph than the top fuel dragster you mention. Even when talking about 0-60 times in the 2.5-3.5 second range, 0.1 seconds can be more than enough to set two vehicles apart. How you can claim a 0.556 second difference, in a sub 1 second 0-60 time, is not a big difference sees you as the only one who could be joking here.
@@WOUBZY You can play with numbers to validate your opinion as much as you’d like but, in the grand scheme of things, 0.556 seconds is damn close. Especially considering that the previous record set only a year ago was 1.461. So, in a year, they lowered the time by 0.505 seconds. An eternity according to you. When the record times are improving at that rate, the perspective changes on how the size of a time difference is perceived. Don’t forget, these are unaided times unlike the NHRA.
Really impressive and explains my question to the verdict someone gave a few years ago, that acceleration under 1.6 sec to 100(or something like that), in a car, becomes physically impossible, due to grip and aero...
He was right about friction-based connection. But racing tires do stick to the ground like glue so you can transfer more force through than is pushing down the tire. Also the car is really light so the adhesive force component is quite large compared to the weight load. F1 for example is slower in 0-100 because the car is heavier and the glueing effect is designed for the huge load F1 cars generate.

"Guinness World Records has confirmed that mythen broke the previous world acceleration record for ELECTRIC vehicles." Silly? Perhaps... as silly as dragsters themselves...and way less dangerous. Relax, Lord Buzzkillington... :D
Actually, the world record for a ground vehicle was made by USAF Colonel John Stapp, Phd. He is referred to as the "Fastest Man On Earth." He sustained 46 G's. In his last ride, at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico in the 1950's. Very well documented. Some videos of this are on RUclips.
That's an interesting thing - although i couldn't find a 0-100 time - but being the payload strapped onto a rocket sled is not quite the same as what we see in this video. Interesting too that he lived to 89, despite exposing himself as a guinea pig. For reference, there have been impact assessments from various accidents that demonstrate survival (and recovery) from considerably higher g-loadings ie Grosjeans crash a couple of years go in F1 was recorded at 67g - he walked away - and Ralf Schumacher copped 71g which broke his back in a couple of places.
Thank you! I damn person with some sense in here. NHRA got 8 classes that accelerate that fast. We got "street cars" that exceed those numbers. Top fuel is like .400 to 60mph cause the 60' cone clicks sub .900 at 100ish mph (161 kph ). There records gotta be like on 1 AA battery or a toothbrush motor or something dumb lol. We got time slips of stripped down and retuned Teslas runnin sub .900 seconds, on stock hardware. Theres gotta be something goofy about the record. We got cars with registrations and interiors getting close to thise numbers, with a passenger!
The point is its an electric vehicle, and on top of that its built by students. A world record has its parameters. Now try and take that dragster and go around the autocross course these were built for and see how well it does.
@@mrskywalker115 It wasn't a lap time in relation to the record, but 0-100. In acceleration (drag) records, electric vehicles are light years behind internal combustion vehicles. This is a fact, regardless of the fact that the vehicle in the video is very cool and nimble.
@user-dj5by6pe8p but the record is for an electric vehicle(sure they didn'tspecify that but among the fsa community its obvious what they meant), every record has its parameters. my point was the fact that it's that fast but also so nimble, literally nothing else is that good at both, even a Shifter cart can't touch it. Male runners are also faster so when a woman shaters the old record do you bring up that there is a faster record by a man? The point is its the record for a biological different group, same here.
It blows my mind that they didn’t do this on a drag strip or even a large open parking lot, but around COUNTLESS hazards and opportunities for tragedy. All those brilliant minds and not an ounce of common sense.
The car traveled 12 meters before it started slowing down. It looks like there is not much room in front of the car, but she begins braking 12 meters from where she left off.
I think you should’ve included the whole history of drag racing, the materials the car are made from, and the personal history of the driver as well… That would’ve made it into a 30 minute video. Just kidding! Great video and thanks.
I guess it's not too bad. But when you consider that a top fuel drag car will dash from 0 to 60 miles an hour .9 of a second, cover a distance of 60 feet, and reach 100 miles an hour in that time. And going on to cover the standing 1/4 mile in 3.6 seconds at over 338 miles an hour. It really isn't that impressive, is it?
I guess it's not too bad, but an aircraft carreer catapult does it in 0.8, for planes weighing far more than a top fuel. My point here is that this little EV thing can't be compared to a top fuel, nor to a fighter jet : not the same maintenance, not the same infrastructure (a top fuel couldn't do its thing on a warehouse parking for example), sooo... Each one is impressive in it's way, that's all.
Last I checked the Aero rules are extremely strict and any system like that would be banned from competition, they were likely quoting how much force it generated at 100kph, not at standstill
@@mrskywalker115 PGE (fan cars) has been allowed in Formula Student for the last 3 years, you can see the fans poking out of the wide floor if you look closely.

Yes, Stuttgart switched to a hand accelerator control and their driver was recently seen after a double leg amputation to reduce weight and enable them to lower the front of the car to reduce aerodynamic drag. They are committed!

At last. A whole 2 minute video with description and hundreds of comments and only this mention that its an electric record.
This is impressive!!! Congratulations to all!
congratulations from China, in the formula student electric china community, we were also talking about you. really good and impressive job you guys have done
Congrats to the whole team!
Juste génial. Bravo les jeunes ! Il y a de quoi être fier 🥹
140kg empty, 180kg with the driver
So the driver weighs 40kg 😂😂😂
Congrats on your Guinness book of World Records entry. Very fast.
Well done Team AMZ. This is truely Amazing.
Congrats kids, less than one second, that's an awesome feat !! Regards from Argentina !
what is amazing is the grip of the tyres

well done to you all, excellent work
i met you guys when we were shooting next to you - respect - you did it - THX
Do not assume they speak German in Switzerland 😎 Great job and impressive results !
But they DO speak German in Switzerland.

I clicked because the driver looked like George Russell with the helmet on, but very impressed to see that it was a normal woman and she achieved this record! Bravo ETH!
You are right, she kinda does look like George Russell with his helmet on
Wonder who came up with the idea to put a car and trailer sideways at the end of the runway. 😅
Absolutely incredible
This title is clickbait - not on the premise that its wrong, but that it is misleading because it leaves out pertinent information. It's not the absolute world record for 0-100 kph as someone might be inclined to think given the title and description, it is the record specifically for electric vehicles. Very impressive nonetheless.
Unglaubliche Leistung! Bin sehr stolz auf euch, Bravo!
❤
Stolz?Die kennen sich überhaupt nicht und ob du auf sie stolz ist oder nicht, das juckt sie nicht 😂
@@kostja2400 was bist du denn für ein Asozialer 🤢🤢
The most unexciting 0 to 100 pull I've ever seen
Awesome! This is great to see young people loving their work.
Top fuel: what is this cute little toy?
Wow! Excellent work! I love the cold, German logic at work of getting a small "superleggera" driver to keep weight down. That's Lancia thinking, right there.
They were Swiss.
Note: this is the world record for an electric car. Top fuel dragsters regularly do 0-100 kmph in 0.4 seconds.
ETH is lying to get views, it's shameful!! The 0 to 100 km/h world record has NOT been broken!!!!
In the US, top fuel dragsters go 0-160 km/h in 0.85 seconds…
ETH deliberately forgets (therefore lies) to specify in the title that it is in a category (Electric vehicles), in this way, we think that it is the world record (all “categories” combined). Clickbait strategy 🤮
Amazing work 👍
One suggestion for futur record attempts: how about setting a minimum driver weight (if your lighter add weights...). Since the car is so light the drivers weight has a very significant impact and therefore should be a somewhat controlled variable imo.
It also effects grip. I think the whole weight/delivery of torque combo is very sensitive, and it probably doesn't work with a lighter or heavier driver.
@@rielnotermansYes, I’m sure they fine-tuned it based on road conditions, temperatures, power, weight, and drag. Fantastic work. An ideal setup would be a system that can adapt to the conditions after a couple tries. It may already be a hybrid - a mix of both.
@@rielnotermans Mass definitely affects acceleration, which is why they use aero/suction to increase downforce without adding more mass (other than the suction equipment).
Why would you make the driver a minimum weight? That is the whole reason race car drivers are skinny. That and fat people won't fit. Getting the lightest driver you can is racing 101. When I used to street race motorcycles I was only 125 pounds.
@@AcidGambit419Exactly this, thank you
Well, that's an student engineer's dream college activity right there
Amazing stuff! Finally the tuning set-ups from games like Forza Horizon are a reality :D
All the older sims were used as models for tuning modern cars. Gt7 went back to being arcade. Its all hype
I thought that was George Russel in the drivers seat
Doing it as a TEAM is what really matters - a job well done - congratulations!

A Top Fuel Dragster has entered the chat...
No it didnt. Top Fuel gets to 60mph in .350. It was Top Fuels conversation first lol
@@flipfloptanlines926 And this so-called world record needs an asterisk. Let's just say that EV's will never get to 338 MPH in 1000' nor will they ever match a top fuel ICE engine's acceleration. 😃

Bro the acceleration is wild ~27m/s²
Outstanding! ETH Zurich are the best!😊👏🏻🎉
A topfuel dragster goes from 0-100 mph (around 160 km per hour) in just 0,8 sec so this is impressive but not a record
It's a record for an electric car which is what they were aiming for

Does it come with a remote control, and how far between charges?
Amazing work!
Even though this is a highly highly modified FS car, it is a brilliant effort.
In case anyone is curious, that's 2.96 G! Amazing!
thank you!
I drive a race car that is N/A and 2500lbs, 0 to 60ft in .998 seconds at 68 mph. Don’t give up on gasoline engines.
F*ck i got licensing passes quiker than that lol. Must be something goofy about their contest like 1 AA battery or you gotta use a stock toothbrush motor or something. NHRA got at least 8 classes that go that fast and do it about 30 times a year. We got a damned TV show on for like 15 years with streetcars that go that fast. I dont get it.
Well this is specifically the electric record, and they just dropped it by 50%
Give it another few years and the electric cars will be competing against top fuel too.
That was the most anti-climatic speed record video I’ve ever seen.
Definitely impressive BUT Top Fuel does 0-100 mph in the same time. So let’s not act like this is the quickest accelerating vehicle on earth
ProMod street cars are faster than that. Im afraid to hurt their feelings about top fuel car hitting 60mph in .350 seconds. Teslas a sub 1 second if you cut all the sh*t off em and retune.
Brittany Force recorded the fastest run in Top Fuel history during qualifying at the 2022 NHRA Finals in Pomona - beating her own record of 338.48 mph, set just a month earlier at the NHRA Midwest Nationals in St Louis, Missouri. Her elapsed time was 3.641 seconds. Force went on to win the Top Fuel championship for the second time. thats miles per hour.
What does a combustion engine have to do with an electric vehicle record?
@@AthenaAutocrossHad to run the powerplant to charge the damn battery lol
@@flipfloptanlines926 it's like a 1kw battery. It could charge on any decent home solar array in a few minutes. Meanwhile you need 15 gallons of nitromethane for top fuel for one run that's about 1,000 USD in fuel per run.
@@AthenaAutocross Meanwhile you need 18 gallons at $30.50 a gallon puts the figure a $549 dollars of fuel per run. $457 dollars if you use your made up 15 gallon number. That figure was probably accurate about 1985 ish. Power factor divided by cell efficiency puts you at about 6800 square feet of solar panel and even then the math says 108 minutes to top you 1k battery up, if you can control the heat. Either find another source of information that is accurate, or cease fabricating facts.
That acceleration is nuts
That’s pretty cool. A top fuel dragster does 0-100 km/h in 0.4 seconds and 0-100 mph in 0.9 so, they’re damn close to those times. Wonder how long before these times are equaled or bettered?
It sounds like they are very, very far away from those times.
@@jonathanparle8429 70%?! A TFD maxes at 5Gs and the Mythen achieved 3Gs. 3 is 60% of 5. So, 40% more not 70. The Kia to Porsche analogy is ridiculous. You’re talking about a difference of 8 full seconds as opposed to, roughly, 5-6 tenths of a second. Tell me, when was the last time you heard anyone say a car did 0-60 in G-force?
@@WOUBZY You’re joking, right?
@@stashoneill 0.556 seconds is an enormous difference when talking about numbers so small. It took this car 2.39x longer to reach 60mph than the top fuel dragster you mention. Even when talking about 0-60 times in the 2.5-3.5 second range, 0.1 seconds can be more than enough to set two vehicles apart. How you can claim a 0.556 second difference, in a sub 1 second 0-60 time, is not a big difference sees you as the only one who could be joking here.
@@WOUBZY You can play with numbers to validate your opinion as much as you’d like but, in the grand scheme of things, 0.556 seconds is damn close. Especially considering that the previous record set only a year ago was 1.461. So, in a year, they lowered the time by 0.505 seconds. An eternity according to you. When the record times are improving at that rate, the perspective changes on how the size of a time difference is perceived. Don’t forget, these are unaided times unlike the NHRA.
This is crazy! Gratuliere!
Really impressive and explains my question to the verdict someone gave a few years ago, that acceleration under 1.6 sec to 100(or something like that), in a car, becomes physically impossible, due to grip and aero...
Solution? Increase the grip. Dragsters reach 100 in less than half a second due to the sticky track prep
This isn’t a car, it’s a fukn toy. Build it even smaller and it will go under 0.8.
He was right about friction-based connection. But racing tires do stick to the ground like glue so you can transfer more force through than is pushing down the tire.
Also the car is really light so the adhesive force component is quite large compared to the weight load. F1 for example is slower in 0-100 because the car is heavier and the glueing effect is designed for the huge load F1 cars generate.
@@Tiller.McC352 Then they are faster 0-100?
@@John-Dukemaster A top fuel dragster will reach 60 mph (approx 100 kph) in about 0.2 second and 100 mph (approx 161 kph) in about 0.8 second.
62.14 MPH
This is a good acceleration but if you want to talk world records, a top fuel dragster is at 100mph in 0.8 seconds. 0-338 mph in 3.62 seconds.
Different sections
This is more like e-go kart plus
That’s not the point, and again we are mixing up things (..)
And the engine needs a hole rebuild after that. This think just a recharge.
@@manup1931which probably can be done a lot faster than they can even recharge this car. 😂

how is there so much grip in the tyres?
What's the point? Dragsters already have 160+km/h at that time
The point is to set records
"Guinness World Records has confirmed that mythen broke the previous world acceleration record for ELECTRIC vehicles."
Silly? Perhaps... as silly as dragsters themselves...and way less dangerous.
Relax, Lord Buzzkillington... :D
George Russel's the kind of guy who breaks 0-100 records under a German (female) pseudonym.
Actually, the world record for a ground vehicle was made by USAF Colonel John Stapp, Phd. He is referred to as the "Fastest Man On Earth." He sustained 46 G's. In his last ride, at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico in the 1950's. Very well documented. Some videos of this are on RUclips.
That's an interesting thing - although i couldn't find a 0-100 time - but being the payload strapped onto a rocket sled is not quite the same as what we see in this video. Interesting too that he lived to 89, despite exposing himself as a guinea pig. For reference, there have been impact assessments from various accidents that demonstrate survival (and recovery) from considerably higher g-loadings ie Grosjeans crash a couple of years go in F1 was recorded at 67g - he walked away - and Ralf Schumacher copped 71g which broke his back in a couple of places.
Several big differences between a rocket sled and a self propelled wheeled vehicle.
The specific record achieved in this run is the Guinness World Record for "Fastest 0-100 km/h acceleration by an electric car".
What record is this cause topfuel drag cars reach 100kmh in like .4 or .3 seconds regularly
Also a Top Fuel dragster does 0 to 160 km/h in 0.8 sec.
With over 10, 000bhp
Not with 300hp
That’s cool, but not even close to how quickly a top fuel dragster accelerates.
Thank you! I damn person with some sense in here. NHRA got 8 classes that accelerate that fast. We got "street cars" that exceed those numbers. Top fuel is like .400 to 60mph cause the 60' cone clicks sub .900 at 100ish mph (161 kph ). There records gotta be like on 1 AA battery or a toothbrush motor or something dumb lol. We got time slips of stripped down and retuned Teslas runnin sub .900 seconds, on stock hardware. Theres gotta be something goofy about the record. We got cars with registrations and interiors getting close to thise numbers, with a passenger!
Is this a world record for electric cars only? There are faster cars out there, look to top-fuel dragsters, they reach 100kmt/h in half that time😎
👍👍👍👍
Very impressive performance, combining light weight and good trajectory control at low speeds under such huge acceleration is exceptional.
Top fuel dragsters pass 0-100mph (160km/h!!!) in 0,8s, so this "Record" is valid only for electric models.
The point is its an electric vehicle, and on top of that its built by students. A world record has its parameters. Now try and take that dragster and go around the autocross course these were built for and see how well it does.
For now . . .
@@mrskywalker115 It wasn't a lap time in relation to the record, but 0-100. In acceleration (drag) records, electric vehicles are light years behind internal combustion vehicles. This is a fact, regardless of the fact that the vehicle in the video is very cool and nimble.
@user-dj5by6pe8p but the record is for an electric vehicle(sure they didn'tspecify that but among the fsa community its obvious what they meant), every record has its parameters. my point was the fact that it's that fast but also so nimble, literally nothing else is that good at both, even a Shifter cart can't touch it. Male runners are also faster so when a woman shaters the old record do you bring up that there is a faster record by a man? The point is its the record for a biological different group, same here.
@@IstvánBodnár-k2yit might also be the record for Speedrun, which doesn't need a whole drive train rebuild after a run.
It doesn't even matter. It's an electronic car people. They don't count!
It blows my mind that they didn’t do this on a drag strip or even a large open parking lot, but around COUNTLESS hazards and opportunities for tragedy. All those brilliant minds and not an ounce of common sense.
Doesn't take much to blow a small and narrow mind... 😁
The car traveled 12 meters before it started slowing down. It looks like there is not much room in front of the car, but she begins braking 12 meters from where she left off.
"BILLIONS of hazards!" pointed out he, nonchalantly puffing at his cigar with a manly stare into the horizon... "HOW DARE YOU?"
:D
Oh no! Think of the children! (clutches pearls)
It's like those games where you have a good boost on the start of a race, and then your car just becomes slow as ever, lol
I think you should’ve included the whole history of drag racing, the materials the car are made from, and the personal history of the driver as well… That would’ve made it into a 30 minute video. Just kidding! Great video and thanks.
it would look slow if they compared to the whole drag scene.
engines which are based of v8 from the 1960s do that in half the time.
Awe, that's pretty damn good for a little electric car!
I guess it's not too bad. But when you consider that a top fuel drag car will dash from 0 to 60 miles an hour .9 of a second, cover a distance of 60 feet, and reach 100 miles an hour in that time. And going on to cover the standing 1/4 mile in 3.6 seconds at over 338 miles an hour. It really isn't that impressive, is it?
I guess it's not too bad, but an aircraft carreer catapult does it in 0.8, for planes weighing far more than a top fuel.
My point here is that this little EV thing can't be compared to a top fuel, nor to a fighter jet : not the same maintenance, not the same infrastructure (a top fuel couldn't do its thing on a warehouse parking for example), sooo... Each one is impressive in it's way, that's all.
It says fastest EV start up speed, obviously not including airplanes and drag racers.
Glückwunsch, krankes KFZ :D Tolle Leistung!
So they've reinvented the Brabham BT46?
Which was simply an open-wheel copy of the Chaparral 2J.
Last I checked the Aero rules are extremely strict and any system like that would be banned from competition, they were likely quoting how much force it generated at 100kph, not at standstill
@@mrskywalker115 PGE (fan cars) has been allowed in Formula Student for the last 3 years, you can see the fans poking out of the wide floor if you look closely.
@@spider_sf Interesting, Im surprised they allow that, its been almost a decade since I competed in it and I know they made aero restrictions after the craziness of 2014 car University of Michigan had. I thought the aero looked a little funny but it makes sense now what I was seeing.
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 congratulations from 🇬🇧
Stuttgart will beat this.
Yes, Stuttgart switched to a hand accelerator control and their driver was recently seen after a double leg amputation to reduce weight and enable them to lower the front of the car to reduce aerodynamic drag. They are committed!
Just relax, Kate, it'll be over in a second 😎
Nice short video. Congratulations about the record!
