A 300mph Car

Unread postby EngineerJohn » Mon Sep 02, 2019 10:40 am

So people around the world have been busy trying to make a car that can do over 300mph, there are several cars that have been tested up to around 280mph but now the French have pulled it off with a modified Bugatti Chiron. The car went 304.77mph and was officially confirmed by a German auto group.

This car is faster than nearly every helicopter ever made, faster than most general aviation planes, and several World War 2 planes.

Impressive.
All that remains is to fix the roads.
