Toyota engineers have turned Pokemon Violet's legendary Pokemon into a prototype motorcycle, and I just want to know how fast it can go

A trainer sat on Miraidon's back in Pokemon Violet.

In the words of that one recurring Pokemon NPC, technology is incredible, but just in case you needed any convincing, this real-life recreation of Pokemon Violet's legendary mascot Miraidon as some sort of fancy prototype motorcycle might do the trick.

Meet the Miraidon Project, created by the Toyota Engineering Society. Images and videos of the creation have been shared around on Twitter and Reddit, and there's no doubt that it's seriously impressive. Details are very light on the ground right now, but from what we've seen so far from its first prototype appearance last year, it appears to be life-size. All of the details, from its light-up eyes to the different colors on the outer of its wheels are on point, but it's not clear if it's actually functional as a vehicle right now. If it is, we've got to see how fast this thing can go. For science, obviously.
