When the first vehicles were produced in the late 1800s, engineers certainly imagined that there would be technology advanced enough to make ‘flying cars’ possible today. Although we still have not seen flying cars, it is an undeniable fact that the technology in question has developed incredibly since then.
So much so that today, high-performance vehicles produced by companies such as Rimac, Bugatti and Tesla can reach a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour. We can even see vehicles with a top speed of over 500 kilometers per hour. Over the years, more and more advanced tools appear. Well, if we were to collect the fastest vehicle produced each year, from the past to this year, what vehicles would we have? Let’s see together.
