My final, confirmed time was 0-100km/h in 1.398 seconds. If I want to beat the one-second mark, I need a warmer day, and to lose about 30kg!

Shoutout to the editor for making sure Tom's scream was in every shot of the car's acceleration

[mikeymegamega]

I'm starting to see why Tom feels he doesn't have that many videos left in him - I thought he was retiring but it's more of a decreasing survival likelihood.

[SemiHypercube]

"faster than any roller coaster launch, besides one in Japan that's closed because it kept shattering people's bones" well now I want to know the story of that

[Beeksz]

I literally just saw Tom at six flags in New Jersey casually riding rides by himself. This guy is a LEGEND!
Edit: *CONFIRMED* He emailed me back!! I was on the same roller coaster ride as TOM FREAKING SCOTT! Thank you so much for the reply Tom you are the man stay well with everything going on in the world!

I love how despite Toms geeky demeanour, he constantly ends up in adrenaline junky situations

[OddsterH]

The fact that Tom is driving has more shock value than the 0-100 in the title.

[MrArkAngelz]

I love that you don't turn every video into a 10 minute video. This one was awesome

[Imurai]

Props to the editor (and/or Tom) for knowing what the people want. Hearing Tom scream over and over again.

For those who are wondering about the Roller Coaster mentioned at 2:36, it's called Do-Dodonpa and is/was located at Fuji-Q Highland in Fujiyoshida, Japan. It had a pneumatic launch system, and until 2016 featured a 49m tophat. The tophat was replaced and in 2017 it re-opened with a 39, 7m diameter vertical loop.

Before it's closing in 2021 it was able to reach 0-180km/h (111.8 mph) in 1, 56 seconds, which when averaged out is around 0-100 in 0.86 seconds. It was manufactured by S&S Worldwide.

putting the parking lot directly down range of this test is a real statement of trust in the safety systems

[securi-t]

I love your genuine reactions there, Tom! Just sitting in dismay for like 8 seconds before going "WHAT!?" is the most cromulent response to that experience I can imagine!

[martinkadlec]

The car is cool and all, butt Tom making fun of Hammond still gotta be my favorite part 😂

[hazonku]

I love that the whole point isn't to build a fast car, it's to just have a cool project for engineering students to tackle.

[yournan]

"There is quite a history of floppy-haired British TV presenters getting into high speed vehicles and ending up in hospital" - not only is Tom taking a dig at Hammond, Rimac know all too well this history personally. Brilliant!

[aaron-bieber]

I love that these guys are using the ground suction technique that has been used now for many years by competitors in the "mini maze-solving robot" competitions. They compete to solve a maze as quickly as possible, and eventually pure friction became the limiting factor so they started putting tiny fans in the base, to literally suck on the ground. Now all the robots do it because you can't win without it.

4:11 Tom hits the go button
4:13 Tom hits the stop button
4:23 Toms mind catches up with his body

[SirFloofy]

Tom went from suspense to terror to disbelief faster then he could process it

[stefevr]

Tom: Im scared of modest roller coasters

Also Tom: Today I'm breaking the sound barrier in a toaster on wheels

[steelbluesleepR]

I love that the car (being electric) is so quiet that you can hear his scream during the launch.
