An NHRA Top Fuel dragster accelerates faster than any other ground vehicle on Earth. Watch this video to understand why!
A Top Fuel dragster is a 2,000-pound vehicle that is powered by a V8 engine that produces 8,000 horsepower and burns 17 gallons of nitromethane during its run.
It is capable to reach 300 miles/hour in less time that a conventional road car takes to reach 30 m/h!
A Top Fuel dragster covers the quarter mile from standstill in less than four seconds!
