The Fastest Go-Kart on the Planet

Toronto-based Daymak has been making some of the coolest non-car electric vehicles for more then a decade, and now, the fastest go-kart on the planet can be added to their list of accomplishments. The Daymak C5 Blast Go-Kart Ultimate is an all-electric, pavement-destroying, brain-rattling, you’ll-probably-get-whiplash rocket ship that can do 0-60 in 1.5 seconds. For the record, that’s a faster time than the LaFerrari, Bugatti Chiron, Porsche 918 Spider and the upcoming Dodge Demon. We know those are all street-legal production cars and not go-karts, but the point is that this thing is absurdly fast. What makes it rip up the pavement while causing your life to flash before your eyes? Start with a 48v brushless DC motor and add a total of 12 Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) motors split between the sides and the back. It’s not on our list of rides to drive cross country, but 0-60 down a straight in around one and a half seconds? Hell yes. Where do we sign. Take all our money.
