WHAT ARE SUPER CARS

A super car – also called exotic car – is a loosely defined description of certain high-performance street-legal sports car Since the 2000s or 2010s, the term hyper car has come into use for the highest performing super cars.

THE WORLDS FASTEST CAR

The worlds fastest car is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. Intrepid British driver Andy Wallace reached 304 mph behind the wheel of this limited-edition model in August 2019, becoming the first person to cross the 300-mph threshold in a production car. Many of Bugatti’s rivals talk about doing 300-plus; instead of talking, the French carmaker went to the Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany and did it.

The world second fastest car

In terms of top speed, Hennessey Performance Engineering is running roughshod over the competition. The Venom GT — which recorded a monumental, yet unofficial 270-mph run in 2014 — sat atop this list for some time, but three years later, Hennessey challenged the boundaries of physics yet again

The next level of super cars are the jet cars

A jet car is a car propelled by a jet engine. A jet dragster is a jet powered car used for drag racing. They are most commonly seen at race shows.

The worlds first jet car

A car enthusiast has built a jet-powered Smart car, complete with a fire-breathing exhaust, that can be driven on the road and hit 220mph.

Bill Berg put a 2,000 horsepower helicopter engine in the tiny vehicle to make the world’s first jet-powered electric Smart car.

The ‘jet car’ is a standard 2008 model capable of reaching 220mph, with a high performance General Electric T58-GE03 gas turbine engine.   

Owner Bill Berg has managed to keep the vehicle street-legal, and now he loves nothing more than travelling the world showing off his latest prized asset.

These modifications mean the Smart car can do around 160 to 170mph in about nine seconds on a race track

The worlds fastest jet car

ThrustSSC, Thrust SSC or Thrust supersonic car is a British jet car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers, and Jeremy Bliss.^[1]

Thrust SSC holds the world land speed record, set on 15 October 1997, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first land vehicle to officially break the sound barrier.

Both Thrust SSC and Thrust2 are displayed at the Coventry Transport Museum in Coventry, England. As part of the Museum’s redevelopment project, both cars were relocated by specialist haulier from their position in the Museum’s Spirit of Speed Gallery to the new Biffa Award Land Speed Record Gallery which opened in 2015.

The car is 16.5 m (54 ft) long and 3.7 m (12 ft) wide and weighs nearly 10 tons. It had a total thrust of 223 kN (approximately 50,000 pounds force), equivalent to around 102,000 brake horsepower at the measured record speed (calculated using Power = Force x Velocity).
