Whats the fastest you could possibly get a car (any car, current, concept or by own design) to move? Could it reach between mach 2-5?

Exactly, well-put. One could also connect this explanation to the discussion of boundary layer effects we had in another thread.Astronuc said:After that, the problem becomes the shock waves from the compression associated with hypersonic velocity. Jet aircraft designed for Mach 2 do not do Mach 2 near the ground, and certainly not on the ground (they are not desiged for M2 with landing gear down).
The current fastest recorded speed for a car is 316.11 mph, achieved by the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ in September 2019. However, this speed has not been officially recognized by the Guinness World Records due to the production car's modifications.
The current fastest production car is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. It has a top speed of 304 mph and is limited to 30 units. However, this speed has not been officially recognized by the Guinness World Records due to the production car's modifications.
No, a car cannot reach the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of light is the universal speed limit, and any object with mass cannot reach or exceed this speed.
The key factors that determine a car's speed include its engine power, weight, aerodynamics, and tires. A powerful engine with a lightweight and aerodynamic design, along with high-performance tires, can contribute to a car's maximum speed.
Yes, there are safety concerns with cars reaching high speeds. The faster a car travels, the more difficult it is to control and stop. This can lead to accidents, and the impact of a crash at high speeds can be fatal. That's why it is essential to have proper safety measures in place and follow speed limits when driving.
