The team had planned to find better tyres and go for the outright wheel driven record with the car but the project stalled.

The car could not run to its full potential as the tyres it used could not exceed 350mph. Before the team behind Dieselmax opted for a purpose built car they considered using a redeveloped Audi R8 Le Mans car to break the record. This very unusual PR project for earth mover firm JCB was built by English firm Visioneering and mated two specially tuned 750bhp JCB444 diesel engines usually used to power backhoe loaders and excavators. RacecarEngineering-Feb-06 JCB Dieselmax – 350mph It is still the fastest F1 car of all time. The 067 Lakester today is housed in the wind tunnel building at Mercedes Grand Prix in Brackley, England. The speed it did was close to the record set at Bonneville by Chuck Billington’s purpose built Lakester. However it later exceeded this mark at a local airstrip. It was and the car went to Bonneville but failed to achieve its target speed of 400kph. To do that the car would have to be fully compliant with the F1 technical regulations. RacecarEngineering-January2012 BAR-Honda 067 Lakester – 413kphīack in 2006 for reasons nobody ever really understood the BAR-Honda team reworked one of its 067 interim test cars to turn it into the fastest F1 car ever. As Spirit of America it crashed whilst still accelerating at 700mph, the steering problem that caused that crash has been fixed. The car is currently for sale with a price tag of just $3m. It has never run so its true potential is unknown but realistic projections put its peak speed at between 850 and 900mph. It will never run again.īased on Craig Breedlove’s Spirit of America Sonic Arrow the Fossett LSR was developed by a team of aviation experts. The car now resides in a museum in Coventry England. The twin Rolls Royce Spey engined car set the bar at 763.035 but hit 771mph on on run. But it its records are very much under threat from projects like the Fossett LSR and the North American Eagle. It is not a complete list and not all of the cars actually exist yet!Įver since it broke the sound barrier at the Black Rock Desert in 1997 Thrust SSC has been the fastest car in the world. There are many classes and many projects so we have decided to take a look at what are the fastest cars in the world – you won’t find cars like the Bugatti Veyron or Ultimate Aero on here, but the fastest speed machines in the world.
