:::Pagani Zonda:::

The Pagani Zonda (often mistaken as being a cheep rip-off version of a Honda) is capable of speeds up to 346 km/h (215 mph) (that I could find, although there are lots of different models of the car...) and 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. Early engineering on the Zonda was done by the Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio and was originally going to be named the "Fangio F1" after him. When he died it was renamed the Zonda after an air current above Argentina. The body of the Zonda is made mostly of carbon fibre to make it light weight. The Zonda debut in 1999.

:::Thrust SSC:::

The Thrust SSC is the current holder of the landspeed record with a speed of 1 228 km/h (763 mph). The Thrust SSC (Super Sonic Car) was the first land vehicle to successfully break the sound barrier. The Thrust features two turbojet engines that enable it to reach such speeds. Thrust SSC broke the record on October 15, 1997 at Black Rock Desert in Nevada.

On the picture above you can see the shock waves as it breaks the sound barrier!

Here you can see down the two jet engines.

Here it is smashing through the sound barrier!
