Australia sets new record for world's fastest couch
Ice Break commissioned a local motorsport designer to create a leather two-seater to race down the runway at Camden Airport. Naturally, as the event was sponsored by Ice Break, the record-setter had to include a "coffee" table as well!
In the official lap this past Tuesday, September 27, with driver Glenn Suter at the wheel, the Ice Break 'Fast
Couch' reached a maximum speed of 163kph or 101mph. The couch and table, complete with fruit bowl, mug andbook, made for a very intriguing sight as it bolted down the runway.
Footage from the record-setting run, part of the 'Add A Motor To It' series - which launched on the Ice Break YouTube channel on Wednesday 28 September - has been submitted to Guinness World Records for consideration.
