Zayn Sofuoglu from Türkiye still has more than 12 years to go until he can legally drive on public roads. The five-year-old has a love for speed, and he's getting behind the wheel of supercars to prove it.

Sofuoglu first went viral for doing doughnuts in a Ferrari at the tender age of three.

The boy has once again defied expectations by hitting a record-breaking 312km/h while crossing the line in a Lamborghini Revuelto, a plug-in hybrid supercar with a top speed of 350km/h.

Now, the racing streets call the tiny racer 'the fastest child on the planet'.

Sofuoglu's father, Kenan Sofuoglu, is a five-time world-champion motorcycle racer.

With some modifications to accommodate his small stature, including a baby seat and extended pedals, little Zayn hit the runway with his proud father in the passenger seat.

The high-speed sprint occurred at a closed, private drag strip with precautionary safety measures.

Did someone say motorsports prodigy? Watch Zayn accelerate to success below:

"Would you let your five year-old race a car? It is quite fascinating to watch him on this private track, driving this racing car."
