outstanding performance / performance second to none to...


Explanation:
I choose "performance" because that covers human beings AND machines.
Everybody is assuming that "herausragende Leistungen" is referring to a person, how do you know? There is no context!

What if it is "die herausragenden Leistungen des Motors/des Computers...?"

Good choice!
