Fabio Buzzi and his craft, the speed boat from FB Design, broke the speed record of the category, marking an astonishing peak of 277.515 kilometers per hour. He achieved the successful result in his homeland, Italy, on the waters of Como Lake. This means that he's now in Guinness World Record's annals. Well, he already was. It was 1992 when he reached the speed of 252 kilometers per hour.

Already at that time, using a Seatek-powered boat, he has been able to beat the previous diesel record. But his series of successes dates back at least to 1979 when, with a Vm, he reached the incredible speed of 191 kilometers per hour. The threshold of 200 kilometers per hour was conquered only in 1982 when Carlo Bonomi's speedometer stopped at 213 kilometers per hour (thanks to Isotta Fraschini). As they like to say, Italians have speed in their veins!
