# World’s Fastest Shed Powered by Audi RS4 V8 Engine Is Now Available on Airbnb

Fancy a thrilling ride in a shed? If you are, for some odd reason, you can now live out your wildest dreams out in the U.K. courtesy of a V8-powered garden shed. According to the Guinness World Records, this boxy structure on wheels is officially the fastest garden shed in the world, being able to reach a top speed of 80.67 miles per hour courtesy of a 4.2-liter unit plucked from an Audi RS4.

With the release of the 2020 [Guinness](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/28455/watch-this-honda-lawn-mower-hit-100-mph-in-just-6-seconds-break-guinness-world-record>) World Book of Records around the corner, Airbnb is offering its customers 15 unique experiences with current record holders around the world. One such record holder is a guy named Kevin Nicks, who is the legal owner and operator of the shed. And if you've got $150 and some time to kill, we highly suggest checking out the [listing](<https://www.airbnb.co.uk/experiences/1046041>).

Much to our disappointment, you can't actually spend the night in the world's fastest shed (bummer!), but Nicks *is* offering a three-hour tour of the shed that includes a chat over coffee, and a ride-along in the brown beast. Although the Shed is road-legal, Kevin can only take one passenger at a time because despite its large size there are only two seats available.

Truth be told, a rolling shed falls pretty low on the list of things we would do with an [Audi](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/26189/2019-audi-q8-review-a-three-row-suv-with-the-heart-of-sporty-sedan>) V8, yet here we are. When we first [covered](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/14066/this-british-gardener-turned-a-shed-into-a-street-legal-car>) this thing back in 2017 it was sporting a 2.8-liter engine with just 200 horsepower, so it seems that Nick's been busy upgrading the Shed. The hand-built machine has covered 34,000 miles and has set the world speed record for sheds. Also, it’s probably fair to say that most people didn’t know that was even a thing until now.

Still, the spectacle of a shed that drives is quite amazing, made even more outlandish by the fact that this shed has a top speed of 80 mph. The [Guinness World Record](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29537/colorado-race-tracks-largest-burnout-world-record-claim-denied-by-guinness>) holder has also raced a helicopter, but Kevin says his biggest source of enjoyment has come from all the great people he’s met along the way.
