Tested in March 2007 by Guinness world records, The SSC Ultimate Aero takes the lead as the fastest car in the world beating BugattiVeyron. Nissan Terranaut: It seats three people in an interior quite obviously modeled after a U.S.S. Enterprise shuttlecraft.

Those workstations leave room for only one passenger-side door, while the driver’s side has two swing-out doors with no b-pillar. First invented vehicle! 

The plane flew for almost one hundred and twenty feet in twelve seconds. Their plane was named as Flyer attached with two wings on either side. The wings were made out of wood and were 40 feet wide. Rocket planes aside, the SR-71 Blackbird holds the current record speed of 2,242 mph!
