    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!
  • @ahoy1014
    Shoutout to the editor for making sure Tom's scream was in every shot of the car's acceleration
  • @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
  • @MrArkAngelz
    I love that you don't turn every video into a 10 minute video. This one was awesome
  • @Beeks0z0
    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!
  • @nvcnc
    I love how despite Toms geeky demeanour, he constantly ends up in adrenaline junky situations
  • @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.
  • @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!
  • @kjamison5951
    Tom: “I’m not allowed to drive this large passenger transport vehicle, thank you for letting me sit behind the wheel.” Also Tom: “zero to one hundred kilometres per hour in under a second.”
  • @OddsterH1
    The fact that Tom is driving has more shock value than the 0-100 in the title.
  • @Imurai
    Props to the editor (and/or Tom) for knowing what the people want. Hearing Tom scream over and over again.
  • @meowphasa
    Speed really is the purest drug there is. the look on Tom's face really says it all. glad you go to experience that!
  • @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.

    Tom: Im scared of modest roller coasters Also Tom: Today I'm breaking the sound barrier in a toaster on wheels
  • I love that the car (being electric) is so quiet that you can hear his scream during the launch.
  • When they replayed it from different angles all I kept hearing was the “Aaaaagh” from Tom as he hit the throttle,I watched it over and over and couldn’t stop laughing…😂😂😂😂 Brilliant job all around…

    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.
  • @yournan6546
    "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!
  • @at_omic8578
    4:16 the look on Tom's face... pure adrenaline, excitement, and terror all just plastered into the same figure
  • @WryAun
    I really admire how raw the footage of your reactions to experiences like this are. On one hand seeing a few seconds if you catching your breath and looking stunned certainly helps to get across the gravity of an experience like this, but also for those of us who have been watching you for years, since our adolescence, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's come to admire you a great deal; and seeing you have these unpolished and candid reactions makes you seem more like everyone else and reminds me that one day I could be as great a man as Tom Scott just by continuing to make decisions I can stand behind and be proud of!
