0-100 in 0.956 seconds

A Formula 1 car will do it in about two and a half seconds, the fastest production car - a Rimac Nevera - will do it in 1.7 seconds and my trusty old VW Passat will do it in about 8.
But a group of students from AMZ Racing based at the Swiss university, ETH Zurich, made a car accelerate faster than anything else in the world - and smashed through the previous record of 1.46 seconds.
