Due to the excess of horse-drawn carts on the streets and roads, there was an incredible amount of manure that exuded unpleasant odors. While the machines did not emit waste products. And the most common engines at that time were steam engines, which really did not harm the environment.

The supersonic Thrust SSC is recognized as the fastest car. The land speed record was set on October 15, 1997 in the Black Rock Desert (Nevada, USA), on a specially created 21 kilometer long highway. The car was driven by a Royal Air Force fighter pilot Andy Green. For the first time in history, a controlled ground vehicle has overcome the sound barrier. The speed of the car reached 1228 kilometers per hour. Interestingly, the sound barrier was overcome by the car exactly 50 years and one day after Charles Yeager broke the sound barrier in the air on an experimental Bell X-1 aircraft.
