10 Bizarre Vehicles That Made It Into the Guinness World Records

People create incredible machines. Human engineering ingenuity truly knows no limits and, strange as it may sound, can even seem to defy the laws of physics—or at least common sense. Either way, the creators of these vehicles were either geniuses or completely crazy.

1. Honda Lawn Mower

Piers Ward of the British magazine Top Gear accelerated a Honda lawn mower to 116 mph after fitting it with a 109-horsepower engine from a Honda VTR Firestorm sport motorcycle, along with ATV wheels.

2. Motorized Laundry Basket

TV presenter Edd China built this unusual vehicle by making a sink, a bathtub, and a laundry basket drivable at speeds of up to 42 mph. Why? That's exactly the right question.

3. Shopping Cart

Enthusiast Matt McKeown built a jet-powered shopping cart capable of reaching 70 mph. It achieved that performance thanks to a modified engine from a Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter.

4. Mirai

This vehicle shares its name with Toyota's hydrogen-powered sedan. The miniature car, standing just 17.8 inches tall, was built by students at Okayama Sanyo High School. It's even legal to drive on public roads.

5. "Little One"

Today, this is the smallest road-legal car in the world. It was created by Austin Coulson in 2012. The vehicle measures just 25.0 inches wide, 25.8 inches tall, and 49.8 inches long.

6. Giant Tricycle

This tricycle, as tall as a four-story building, was designed by Sudhakar. Not only can you sit on it—it can actually be driven. It also offers an excellent view from the top.

7. Giant Skateboard

How about the largest skateboard on the planet? It certainly looks impressive, although it's anything but practical to ride. The board measures 37.4 feet long and 3.6 feet high.

8. "Badger"

The world's smallest armored vehicle was built by Howe and Howe Technologies specifically for American law enforcement. It has room for only one person and carries no onboard weapons, but the "Badger" can operate inside buildings. It even fits in an elevator.

9. Motorized Log

This is literally the fastest log in the world. It’s powered by a 35-horsepower electric motor. The "jet-powered" log was built by Canadian engineer Brian Reid and can reach 140 mph.

10. Office Desk on Wheels

Another one of Edd China's wild creations. This time it's a motorized office desk on wheels. As ridiculous as it sounds, the machine can reach 87 mph.
