Daymak C5 Blast Go-Kart
The Daymak C5 Blast price starts at around $9,999 for the Standard model and climbs to roughly $59,995 for the Ultimate, making this Canadian electric machine the most extreme go-kart money can buy. Built by Toronto manufacturer Daymak, the C5 Blast pairs a brushless DC motor with optional Electric Ducted Fan thrust to deliver supercar-beating acceleration in a chassis you can park in your garage.
What is the Daymak C5 Blast?
Daymak is a Canadian manufacturer of Light Electric Vehicles that stole headlines globally with its electric go-kart. So why would a go-kart become the centre of attention? The Daymak C5 Blast is like nothing you have ever seen. It comes in two versions, the Standard and the Ultimate, and the gap between them is far more than the price tag suggests.
How fast is the Daymak C5 Blast Ultimate?
The Ultimate C5 Blast is powered by a 48v/10kW brushless DC motor paired with twelve Electric Ducted Fan motors that feed on twelve 5000 mAh batteries. The huge power output requires a seriously strong cooling and braking system, so a rear hydraulic disc brake is fitted along with a liquid cooling system. The go-kart reaches 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.5 seconds, quicker than virtually every supercar ever built. That headline figure explains why the Ultimate carries a price of roughly $60,000. According to Daymak's official launch announcement (see sources below), the EDF thrust even cuts the effective weight from around 200 kg down to about 100 kg once the fans spin up.
Is the Standard Daymak C5 Blast worth it?
If you would rather not spend your life savings on a go-kart and still want incredible performance, the Standard version may be the one for you. It drops the Electric Ducted Fan motors but still performs very well, reaching 100 km/h in under four seconds, which again is supercar territory. The Standard model sets you back around $10,000 for hours of endless speed. Each C5 Blast is custom built and hand assembled in Toronto, so expect a build window measured in weeks rather than an off-the-shelf purchase.
Where does the C5 Blast sit in the world of electric speed machines?
The C5 Blast belongs to the same world of obsessive, low-volume engineering you find across hypercars and bespoke electric vehicles. If raw acceleration is your thing, the same instinct that makes this go-kart appealing runs through the curated luxury hypercars and concept cars on TheArsenale.
