Introducing Zayn Sofuoglu, the five-year-old son of Turkish motorcycle racer Kenan Sofuoglu. Despite his age, he’s already making waves in the world of supercars. Recently, he took a Lamborghini Revuelto down an airport runway, hitting an impressive 194 mph.
In a short Instagram video, you can see Zayn getting ready: putting on his helmet, buckling into a special car seat, and then driving the 1001-horsepower hybrid. With his father in the passenger seat, Zayn pushes the car to a top speed of 193.86 mph. It’s astonishing for anyone, let alone someone so young who needs pedal extensions!
Looking through Zayn’s Instagram account, managed by his parents, it’s obvious he’s got a knack for vehicles despite his young age. From motorcycles and go-karts to cars, he’s tried them all. He’s even shown off in a Tesla Model S Plaid, a Nissan 200SX, and a Ferrari SF90, spinning donuts and drifting with impressive skill—all by the age of three. His experience with high-powered cars is likely greater than many seasoned drivers.
Zayn shows impressive focus during his 194-mph Lamborghini drive. His attention stays fixed on the road, even after crossing the finish line. He checks the instrument display and rearview mirror while braking, and he keeps his eyes on the road, even when his dad offers a congratulatory handshake. When it’s time for celebratory donuts, he carefully checks his surroundings before accelerating. His serious approach to driving is commendable at any age.
