Jet-Powered Speed

Fasten your seat belt! You will soon be reading about the fastest vehicles on land-and they're all jet-powered. Each one has its own exhilarating story. A car called the Thrust2, for example, broke speed records using a huge jet engine that came from a British fighter plane, while another car called the ThrustSCC traveled faster than the speed of sound. These superfast cars were built for one thing-to go faster than anything else on land.
