ThrustSSC (SuperSonic Car) holds the official World Land Speed Record at 763 mph (1,228 km/h), set on October 15, 1997, becoming the first car to break the sound barrier. It was powered by two jet engines and driven by Andy Green. Previous record holders like Thrust2, Blue Flame, and Spirit of America were all slower, with Thrust2 reaching 633 mph.

The Westland Lynx ZB-500 holds the absolute world speed record for helicopters at 249.1 mph (400.8 km/h), set in 1986 with a specially modified Lynx. This record still stands today. While modern helicopters like the Apache are more powerful and advanced, none have matched this pure speed record. The Mi-24 Hind and Agusta Westland AW109 are significantly slower.

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT held the Guinness World Record for fastest production car in 2007 at 256.18 mph (412.28 km/h), surpassing the Bugatti Veyron.

The McLaren F1 and Jaguar XJ220 were iconic supercars of their era but not the fastest production cars at their time.
