Five-year-old Zayn Sofuoğlu, son of Turkish motorcycle racing legend Kenan Sofuoğlu, has become an instant global sensation after hitting a staggering 194 mph (312 km/h) while driving a Lamborghini Revuelto on a closed runway.
Strapped into a booster seat with specially installed pedal extensions, the young driver piloted the 1,001 horsepower V12 plug-in hybrid supercar, setting an unofficial record for the fastest speed ever achieved by a child driver. His father, a five-time World Supersport Champion, was present in the passenger seat during the high-speed run.
The feat is the latest in a series of high-octane adventures for the Turkish toddler, whose social media accounts, managed by his parents, have documented his precocious driving skills since the age of three. Zayn has been seen mastering everything from go-karts and motorbikes to supercars on closed courses.
To celebrate the high-speed achievement, the five-year-old calmly executed a series of donuts in the powerful hybrid supercar, showcasing remarkable car control that has left seasoned drivers in awe. While the stunt was conducted under highly controlled conditions and parental supervision, it has sparked considerable debate online regarding the risks and the nature of early motorsport training.
The Lamborghini Revuelto, which has a top speed of over 217 mph, was pushed close to its limit by the young driver.
