Thrust SSC

Worlds Fastest Cars

This is the shock wave produced when thrust broke the sound barrier, just a normal camera

Thrust SSC 

Of course, the world’s fastest car in terms of top speed was the Thrust SSC

0 to 60mph in no less than 35sec, and 0 to 100mph in 47secs, so it is slower to the hundred than a 1.6 litre Ford Focus fact, this is being slightly mean — the car was accelerated as slowly as possible at first so as not to suck up great chunks of the desert floor into the two jet engines. Thrust SSC’s acceleration peaks at 4sec per 100mph speed gain, matching an F1 car. However, the really impressive thing is that the car keeps up this rate of smooth acceleration from 200mph all the way to 600mph, before the sonic shockwaves begin to make progress harder.
