Speed

The performance isn't anything to be overlooked with a top speed of 385 km/h (240 Mph) and 0-100km/h (0-62 Mph) of 2.8 seconds, this car is jaw-droppingly fast.

When it comes to cars, like all forms of transport, there are always people searching for the next level whether that's technological, raw speed or pure indulgence (like diamond-encrusted headlights?!).

The clock rate, or speed of a CPU's internal parts, is measured in hertz (Hz).

They can run with a speed of about 65 kilometers per hour/40 miles per hour.

2g phones transmit data at about the same speed as a 56kbit/s (Kilobits per second) dial-up modem would get.

Depending on where they are, 3g phones vary in speed between about 200kbit/s to 14mbit/s (Megabits per second).

This is comparable to a Dsl (Digital Subcriber Line) or low end cable modem speed.

The fastest horse ran over double the usual speed!

For a regular horse, their top speed is approximately 27 miles per hour, although the fastest horse ever recorded could reach 55 miles per hour!

Built for speed, cheetahs are slender, with long thin legs and a long tail.

Shuttlecocks also have a high top speed compared to the balls in other racquet sports.

At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed, and precision.

The average running speed for peacocks is 10 miles per hour (16 kph).

In this year, Mercedes trailed a vision-guided robotic van on an open road which achieved a speed of 39 mph.

Although not a production vehicle, the greatest speed ever reached by a manned aircraft that isn't a spacecraft was made by the North American Aviation X-15A-2.

The record was an unofficial human speed record and until the Space Shuttle came along the record was unbroken.

It can cruise at 92% of the speed of sound, or Mach 92, whereas most airliners run at Mach 8.

Due to the drastic fuel consumption that happens when flying the Boeing at this speed, it's rarely done.

The official world water speed record was set on the 8th October 1978 by Ken Warby after reaching 275.97 knots (511.11 km/h, or 317.58 mph) on Blowering Dam Lake, New South Wales, Australia in the jet-powered hydroplane Spirit of Australia.

According to the Guinness World Records, as of 2013, the record lies with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Supersport after reaching a top speed of 431.072km/h (267.856mph).

But the argument is in how the top speed was measured.

The Bugatti's speed was measured after two runs were made, one in each direction, and those were then averaged to give its figure but the Venom was measured by a single run in one direction making it less reliable.

The only good news for the Bugatti is that the one:1 is actually focused on its acceleration rather than speed.

Good job really, the one:1 has a theoretical top speed of 273mph (just over 439 km/h).

Horses are also known for their speed and agility.

The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse is about 55 miles per hour!
