Opel RAK2 (1928): 24 solid fuel rockets for a top speed of 238 kph (145 mph). Notice the inverted wings for downforce.
Also notice the policeman diving for cover in the slow-mo footage...

Did. Did it break a Rekord?

So weird… I remember getting my dads car up to 145 when I was 17.

Average highway speed was 38mph (61kph) in '28. Most cars were unable to reach 60 and the fastest production car got up to 119mph (191kph).

And honestly those speeds were fast enough

I bet it had a really shitty gearbox, like all Opels do

I'm trying to imagine how a gearbox would work on a car pushed forward by rockets.
