# Breakneck Remote-Controlled Cars Nic Case’s ‘Bullet’ is the World’s Fastest Remote-Controlled Car By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-04-02 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastest-remotecontrolled-car References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/rc-bullet-car-188-mph/31433/) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/user/NicCase/about) American R/C enthusiast Nic Case’s ‘Bullet’ car has set a new speed record on its way to becoming the world’s fastest remote-controlled car. The Bullet car can hit a phenomenal 304 km/h. This figure is all the more impressive when you consider that the [Jaguar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneofakind-supercars) F-Type R Coupe sports car can only muster a top speed of 299 km/h. Case has held the record and broken it himself multiple times in the past, and decided to do so once again with the aptly-named Bullet. The Bullet doesn’t even look like a car and looks more like a spaceship, and is barely visible as it zips along the test track at breakneck speed on its way to becoming Case’s—and the world’s—fastest remote-controlled car yet. While many other [high-speed remote-controlled cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remotecontrolled-cars) are commercially available, the Bullet isn’t. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Extreme Remote-controlled Cars:** Developing faster, more aerodynamic remote-controlled cars to break speed records and provide unique experiences for enthusiasts. - **DIY R/C Car Kits:** Creating customizable remote-controlled car kits for consumers to assemble and modify to their own preferences. - **Virtual Reality R/C Racing:** Developing virtual reality remote-controlled car racing experiences to provide a new level of immersion and excitement for hobbyists. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy and Hobby:** Innovating high-performance remote-controlled cars for enthusiasts and hobbyists of all ages. - **Automotive:** Partnering with remote-controlled car manufacturers to integrate and test high-tech automotive concepts, like aerodynamics and power systems, in miniature vehicles. - **Gaming and VR:** Developing virtual reality remote-controlled car racing games and simulations, harnessing the excitement of both gaming and remote-controlled car racing enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernized Superhero RC Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-rc-original-edition-batmobile.md) - [Record-Breaking Electric Auto Drifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gac-group.md) - [Camera-Equipped Remote Control Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snt-micro-fpv-car.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md) - [Exoskeleton-Free Hypercar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bugatti-bolide.md) - [Record-Setting E-Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rgnt-motorcycles.md) - [Air-Powered Racer Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpower-turbo-racer.md) - [Life-Sized Electric Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-one-max.md) - [Exclusive Luxury Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-car.md)
