Today we present you the “club of 400”. All these cars are able to break the magic limit of 400 km/h (249 mph). We got cars from the late 80s like the Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer to the latest record breaking supercars like the SSC Aero.
In 2005 the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has been presented as the “world fastest car” doing 407 km/h (253 mph). Then in 2007 a supercar from the US, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT set the speed record at 413,83 km/h (257 mph) and was given the crown. But did you know that there were cars way before the Veyron and the Ultimate doing over 400 km/h? We will show you…
