THE WORLD'S FASTEST CAR

NO CAR HAS EVER GONE AS FAST AS THRUSTSSC
THE WORLD'S FASTEST CAR

YOU MIGHT THINK YOU'VE DRIVEN QUICKLY ON THE FREEWAY, BUT THAT'S nothing compared to ThrustSSC. This British-built beast became the fastest car on the planet on 15 October 1997, and no car has been able to match it.

ThrustSSC reached a top speed of 1 227.985 km/h and became the first land vehicle to break the sound barrier. Unbelievably, that was ThrustSSC's second record-breaking run - the car had already smashed the record nearly a month earlier when it hit a speed of 1 149.303 km/h.
