Watch a 12-Year Old Race a McLaren 650S to 162 MPH!
When I was 11-years old, my dad put me behind the wheel of the family’s Plymouth Acclaim. It was a $10,000 econo-box made for middle-America, and had a blistering top speed of 65 miles per hour. Anything faster and the wheel would shake like it was Shakira’s hips.
However, I was still driving a car, and that made me insanely cool. At least in my mind. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that another young driver would destroy my coolness. The Acclaim is definitely a far cry from the McLaren 650S this 12-year old is driving.
According to the video below, 12-year old Steven Aghakhani took his dad’s McLaren 650S to the Shift S3ctor Event and trapped at 162 miles per hour. When I had the McLaren, I only got it up to 161 miles per hour.
I think the lesson here is that I need to get the McLaren for a little bit longer, or travel back in time and somehow convince my dad to let me steal a Lamborghini. Take a look.
