As with so many such things, there’s a bit of controversy and more than one contender, but the one in the record books is the A4 Pacific, <em>Mallard</em>. In 1938, this locomotive thundered down an incline on the London & North Eastern Railway’s mainline in the north of England at 126 MPH. But can that number be taken as reliable? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmliJof_VhQ" target="_blank">The Institute of Mechanical Engineers has a video in which they investigate</a>.</p>
<p>It’s a fascinating look at the science of railway speed measurement as it existed in 1938, the record itself, and the paper dynamometer roll which recorded it. We’ve placed the video below the break, and in it, we see an in-depth analysis of the noise and inconsistencies in the recording, and see them come to the conclusion that a safer figure to quote would be 124 MPH.</p>
<p>Our assessment is that, of course, the LNER wanted to squeeze every morsel of publicity from it in a game of one-upmanship with their arch-rivals in the London Midland and Scottish railway, so it’s likely tha

They're at it again! Andrew Hamilton (who set the 14er summer speed record) and his partner Andrea (who set the 14er 24-hour speed record) are setting out next week to set the first ever co-ed 14er speed record, starting with the Chicago Basin.

I'll be following and reporting on their progress over the next few weeks as they work their way through the list of 58 peaks, side by side.

The Aspark Owl SP600 just made history! Unofficially becoming the world's fastest EV, it hit a top speed of 272.6 mph (438.73 km/h) on a long road in Germany. With a 64kWh battery, 2,012bhp, and 1,475 lb-ft of torque, this Japanese electric supercar is a force to be reckoned with. Developed by Manifattura Automobili Torino, the Owl SP600 has undergone rigorous testing to achieve this milestone.

Croatian electric car maker Rimac says it has set a new EV speed record. The Nevera, its second production vehicle, was just clocked in Germany going a blistering 412 kilometres per hour.

That pace – a third of the speed of sound, says test driver Miro Zrnčević – was a target Rimac set when it unveiled the €2 million supercar in 2018. It wasn't able to verify the vehicle's capabilities until this recent test.
