Here's a way to guarantee you'll never be late for school again.

It is the traditional yellow American school bus, except this one has been fitted with the engine from a Phantom fighter jet to give it a top speed of 367mph and neck-snapping acceleration.

Built and driven by adrenalin-junkie Paul Stender and his team at Indy Boys Inc in Indianapolis, USA, the flame-painted bus is custom made from a mix of hand-crafted materials and advanced aircraft components.

This helps it cope with the huge stresses involved in pushing it past 350mph, nearly 100mph quicker than a Bugatti Veyron.

Nicknamed 'The School Time Jet-Powered School Bus', the dragster can fire 75-foot flames from the back and uses 150 gallons of fuel in just a quarter of a mile.

At 10-feet high and 35-feet long, it is the largest jet vehicle in the world and at its heart sits a 42,000hp General Electric jet engine from an F4 Phantom.

Despite its size, this school bus seats only three passengers. And sadly, it won't be taking any kids to school in record time: it's for show only.
