Introducing Zayn Sofuoglu, the five-year-old son of Turkish motorcycle racer Kenan Sofuoglu, who has already taken the wheel of supercars. Recently, he achieved an impressive feat by driving a Lamborghini Revuelto up to a speed of 194 mph. A brief video posted on Instagram captures Sofuoglu gearing up, wearing a helmet, and securing himself into a specialized car seat before accelerating the 1001-horsepower hybrid along an airport runway. His father sits beside him, yet it is young Sofuoglu who handles the entire drive, maintaining full throttle until the digital speedometer reads 312 kph (193.86 mph). This is an extraordinary speed, especially for someone who requires pedal extensions.
Exploring Zayn's Instagram page, managed by his parents, reveals that he is quite familiar with various vehicles despite his tender age. The account showcases him riding motorcycles, go-karts, and a variety of cars. Notably, he has driven a Tesla Model S Plaid, performing donuts, a Nissan 200SX drift car where he demonstrated genuine drifting skills, and a Ferrari SF90, where he also executed donuts at the age of three. Thus, he possesses a significant level of experience for his age, possibly more than many adult drivers.
During his high-speed Lamborghini drive, Zayn appears intensely focused, keeping his gaze fixed on the horizon. After crossing the finish line, he glances at the instrument panel, checks the rearview mirror, and then returns his attention to the road while braking. Even when his father extends a congratulatory hand, Zayn reciprocates without diverting his eyes from the path ahead. When it comes to celebratory donuts, he carefully observes his surroundings before accelerating. It is evident that he takes his driving seriously, which is commendable at any age.
