WATCH: The fastest five-year-old in the world
The five-year-old managed to unofficially set a new speed record for children.
Five-year-old Zayn Sofuoglu is taking the world by storm with his impeccable driving skills after unofficially setting a speed record for children.
The young prodigy is the son of Kenan Sofuoglu, a five-time Supersport World Motorcycle Champion.
Sofuoglu was a mere three years old when he was first spotted behind the wheel of a Ferrari at a racetrack in Turkey.

His most recent feat, which has been shared widely on social media, sees the young boy driving a V12 Lamborghini at 312 km/h.
According to Maroela Media, the young boy's record still needs to be officially confirmed, but Kenan believes it is the fastest top speed ever achieved by a child.
Although his father remains the most successful Turkish motorcycle racer at the world championship level, his son has surpassed his popularity on social media.
Zayn already boasts more than 3.5-million followers on Instagram, while his father has 1.8-million followers.
However, he will have to wait a few more years before he can drive an F1 car, as he must be 18 to compete at that level.

His next title came in 2010, also with Honda, before his first title with Kawasaki in 2012.
His championship victories were consecutive, as he did not participate in 2011.
After that, the 40-year-old stayed with Kawasaki for the rest of his racing career, winning the championship again in 2015 and 2016.
