A PETROLHEAD has constructed what he thinks is the world’s fastest shopping trolley, which he has actually affectionately called the ‘ Consumer Chopper’. The custom-made production, made by US patent office clerk Calvin VanSant, 52, from Pennsylvania, is likewise the world’s only street legal drivable shopping trolley. The existing authorities record for the ‘world’s fastest shopping trolley’ is 45mph (72kph), set by British-based petrolhead Matt McKeown in 2013, but Calvin’s cart does 50mph on the motorway and he states it has a high speed of 80mph. At a height of 10ft, the trolley is remarkably lightweight, weighing in at simply 1.3 tonnes – the same weight as a small household automobile – and has a V8 engine..
