German engineering maestro Marcel Paul rockets into Guinness with record-breaking toy car speed
In an electrifying feat, German engineering prodigy Marcel Paul has propelled himself into the illustrious pages of the Guinness World Records, seizing the title for the fastest modified toy car rider. Embarking on a journey down the speed lane of nostalgia, Paul left his childhood behind in a trail of dust, propelling his miniaturised vehicle to an astounding speed of 148.454 km/h (92.24 mph), an audacious rewrite of the record books.
Guinness World Records, the global arbiter of extraordinary achievements, showcased this adrenaline-charged triumph on Instagram. The heart-stopping video captured Paul effortlessly reclining on his tricked-out miniature car, blazing across the famed Hockenheimring racetrack. The footage rapidly became a social media sensation, amassing an astonishing 650,000 views and 21,000 likes in a single day.

Another user applauded, "Finally, a good world record."
Guinness World Records revealed that this extraordinary feat was the result of 10 months of unwavering dedication, driven by Paul's admiration for the iconic DeLorean's time-traveling speed in "Back to the Future." Paul's engineering prowess not only etched his name into the record books but also propelled him to global recognition for his innovative spirit and lightning-fast skills.
