Thrust2 is a British jet car, which held the world land speed record from 4 October 1983 to 25 September 1997. [a]The Thrust2 is powered by a single Rolls-Royce Avon jet engine sourced from an English Electric Lightning, and has a configuration somewhat resembling that of the mid-1960s-era J79 turbojet-powered land speed record cars of Art Arfons, collectively known as the "Green Monster" cars.
First production car to reach past 200 mph and was world's fastest car from 1987 to 1990 F40 LM: 1989-1994 Only 19 units produced F40 LM Barchetta 1989 Speedster One-off model 333 SP: 1993-1995 Open-top Roadster Racecar 348: 1989-1995 Coupé, Targa 348 Spider: 1992-1995 Convertible 348 GT Competizione 1993 Coupé Track car only F355: 1994-1999
Many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to 60 mph. [ii] [iii] Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times. [3]
The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a full-sized luxury electric grand tourer manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The Spectre was formally launched at Napa Valley , California in 2023. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The first deliveries of the car were made in the last quarter of 2023.
NYC is targeting "ghost cars" that obscure license plates to avoid tolls. Violators risk fines up to $500, vehicle seizures, and even license suspension. New efforts aim to recover millions in ...
Giles Taylor, former director of design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars described the vehicle as "the automotive equivalent of Haute couture". [ 7 ] In 2019, it was overtaken as the most expensive new car by the Bugatti La Voiture Noire which sold for US$18.7 million (US$12.3 million pretax).
The C-X75 production version was expected to deliver CO 2 emissions of less than 99 g/km, a sub-three second 0–60 mph acceleration time, a top speed in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph) and a reduced all-electric range of 50 km (31 miles) as compared to the 110 km (68 miles) for the concept car.
For example, LH 2 /LO 2 bipropellant produces higher I sp (due to higher chemical energy and lower exhaust molecular mass) but lower thrust than RP-1/LO 2 (due to higher density and propellant flow). In many cases, propulsion systems with very high specific impulse—some ion thrusters reach 25x-35x better I sp than chemical engines—produce ...
