BBC motor show Top Gear has smashed a speed record for the world’s fastest tractor.

Steered by masked mascot The Stig, the programme scooped the Guiness World Record after reaching a top speed of 87.271 miles per hour (140 kph) with a modified farm vehicle.

The previous record holder set a mere top speed of 80.87mph (128kph) in 2015.

Top Gear is one of the BBC's most commercially successful programmes and is broadcast across Europe, America and South East Asia.
