YouTube: ProjectAirThe high-speed holder of the official Guinness World Record for a jet-powered RC car is back with a new design he thinks could break the 100 mph barrier.In 2023, James Whomsley set the record of 94.76 mph, but it came at a price.On a later high-speed run, crosswinds blew the jet-powered car off course, and in the accident, the chassis was destroyed.But undeterred, Whomsley is back with Jet Car 3.0, as highlighted on his YouTube channel ProjectAir.The carbon-fiber RC has been built by specialists at Easy Composites, who constructed a fully carbon-fiber monocoque chassis.YouTube: ProjectAirAccording to a MotorBiscuit report, it was built around the front and rear subframes of an Arrma Limitless and houses a miniature jet engine.Describing it, Whomsley said: "It looks so good with the wheels as well. It's like a Formula 1 car mixed with a missile."Whomsley has already taken Jet Car 3.0 to a ROSSA (Radio Operated Scale Speed Association) speed event.Over two days of testing without going full throttle, he mastered the twitchy steering and increased his speed, eventually starting 300 meters further back from the timing gates and getting up to 69.43 mph on the tarmac.But before he had chance to increase the throttle and start further back, there were increased crosswinds.Rather than risk damaging the Jet Car, Whomsley packed it away but will be back to try to break that record soon."It was a disappointing call, and I was gutted not to be running the car at higher speeds, but 69 mph on this car's first time out was actually quite impressive," he said.Read More From First For AutosTesla, BMW and Volvo Are Losing Familiar Models for 2027 - See Which Vehicles Won't ReturnTesla Semi Finally Hits the Road Nearly a Decade After Its Initial 2017 UnveilingBilly Joel's Beloved Vintage Motorcycle Collection Is Headed to Auction in NovemberThis story World Record-Holding Jet-Powered RC Car Takes Aim at Breaking the 100 MPH Barrier first appeared on First For Autos.
