Jet Engine Go-Kart Made By Colin Furze Is Totally Nuts And We Want One

Someone Has Made Mario Kart A Reality With The Help Of A Jet Engine
Ryan Barrell

Colin Furze is the kind of guy who makes every movie geek and tech nerd in the world really, really jealous. He spends his time making literally whatever he wants.

In the past he's made real-life Wolverine claws, Magneto shoes and even strapped a jet engine to a bike and a pram.

In his latest video, he's gone for creating real-life Mario Kart by strapping a giant jet engine to the back of a go-kart. Watch the above video in awe to see how it went and try not to get too jealous as he reaches 61 mph.
