It was a Manhattan-ball run!

A daredevil driver set a land speed record for a single lap around the borough — cutting and weaving through the 26.5-mile route in a hair-raising 24 minutes.

The anonymous speed demon averaged about 66 mph during the late-night circuit, which was captured on a dramatic dashboard-cam video and posted to YouTube under the username AfroDuckProduction.

The drive breaks the previous mark of 26 minutes set in 2010. In both runs, the drivers cut out the top of Manhattan above the Cross Bronx Expressway.

“You frankly can’t identify who I am by just looking at the video,” AfroDuck boasted to the car-geek Web site Jalopnik about his Aug. 26 ride, “and records were meant to be broken.”

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly promised to hunt down the driver, saying, “We now have

license-plate readers in the city that will assist in this type of investigation.”

AfroDuck used a 2006 BMW Z4 for the breakneck drive.

The video clip, with a stopwatch superimposed on the screen, shows a clockwise run beginning on the southbound FDR Drive at the 116th Street entrance.

From there, the car barrels under the East River crossings, through the Battery Park tunnel and onto West Street, where the driver ran just one red light.

The real action takes place on the last leg, with AfroDuck handling the Cross Bronx on and off ramps like a luger on amphetamines.

AfroDuck insisted no other motorists were endangered, telling Jalopnik, “Being a fast driver doesn’t mean that you’re inherently a bad or reckless driver.”

AfroDuck practically dared anybody to challenge the record: “Go ahead. Just watch out for the speeding tickets.”
