Fastest Automobile on Land, Water, Air: Everywhere


Speed is thrilling..speed is amazing..speed is beloved..speed is respected..and most importantly speed is recorded...Today I am giving you guys a brief list of Fastest Automobiles on every medium..be it sky..or land or water or railway tracks :) Get ready and fasten up your seat belts cause speed is risky.. :)


Fastest Car on Land:

Amazing Thrust SSC

ThrustSSC 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 car to officially break the sound barrier. It surely looks like a plane but since it is not I put it in Fastest on Land category.


Fastest Production Car on Land:

Bugatti Veyron-Super Sport

As you can see a normal person can't drive the Thrust SSC that's why there should be a car which is fastest in real means..And it is none other than Bugatti Veyron-Super Sport. Being the fastest it also holds the title for being the Costliest Production Car in the world. It has the top speed of 258 mph.

Fastest Bike on Land:

Top Oil-Ack Attack streamliner

Top Oil-Ack Attack streamliner:On 25 September 2010, Rocky Robinson (USA) achieved an average speed of 605.697 km/h (376.363 mi/h) in his Top Oil-Ack Attack streamliner over a measured kilometre (0.6 miles) at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA.

Fastest Production Bike on Land:

Suzuki Hayabusa

The actual winner can't be decided because of Gentlemen's Agreement. According to this agreement the bikes can't cross the limit of 188mph. But I chose Suzuki Hayabusa as the company claims it to have top speed of 194mph with holding the previous speed records.

Fastest Boat on Water:

XSR48 Boat


XSR48: It's a 48-feet, 800 bhp boat with carbon fiber hull, which can achieve speeds in excess of 161 km/h(100 mph) with its race-tuned engine option.

Fastest Passenger Airplane on Air:


GULFSTREAM G650: In August 2010, as part of its 1,800 hour flight test programme, a Gulfstream G650 passenger jet serial number 6001, flown by test pilots Tom Horne and Gary Freeman, reached a flight speed of Mach 0.995 in a 16-18 degree dive in Savannah, Georgia, USA

Fastest Aircraft on Air:

Tupolev TU-144 

TUPOLEV TU-144: The Tupolev Tu-144, first flown on 31 December 1968 in the former USSR, was reported to have reached Mach 2.4 (2,587 km/h; 1,600 mph), but normal cruising speed was Mach 2.2. After two crashes the aircraft was taken out of service in 1978.

Fastest Train on Tracks:

Shangai's Maglev Train

MagLev Train:The magnetically levitated (maglev) train linking China's Shanghai International Airport and the city's financial district, reaches a top speed of 431 km/h (267.8 mph) on each 30 km (18 mile) run.
