Automobile speed records
growth of cars' land speed records

The evolution of car speed world records is followed since December 1898. Since then, the highest land speed achieved by vehicle has changed almost sixty times.
The value of a recognized land speed record since 1914 is set as the average of two consecutive car runs in opposite directions of the runway.
Since 1963, the record cars no longer use a wheel drive, but a turbine or rocket engine. The latest vehicle aspirant to overcome the world speed record is the postponed British project Bloodhound LSR.
The timeline includes all the important shifts in land speed record over a hundred years. The timeline shows not only the growth of the absolute value of the vehicle speed record, but also the dynamics of its change.
