However, the owner reckons the top speed is actually closer to 115mph.

An official entry on the Guinness World Records website reads: ‘The fastest motorized garden shed, built and driven by Kevin Nicks (UK), clocked a top speed of 106.123 mph (170.788 km/h) over a standing mile (1.6 km) at the Straightliners event held at the Elvington airfield in North Yorkshire, UK, on 27 September 2020.

The shed cost Kevin approximately £5,000 to build from scratch.

The vehicle, which can be legally driven on public roads, is based on a Volkswagen Passat but is powered by a 455hp Audi V8 petrol engine.

Apparently, it’s the only road-legal motorised shed in the world.

In an interview with Barcroft Cars, Kevin Nicks said: “This is the world’s fastest shed.

Another said: “How could that thing be legal on the roads with all the safety obligations that modern vehicles must adhere to?”
