Video of the Day: The Fastest Car of Every Year
Donut Media hosts a deep-dive on the fastest cars of each year over the last century-plus. We’ve come a long way in 130 years.
The guys over at Donut Media offer up a unique blend of silly comedy and well-researched history lessons or fact sheets. Their style isn’t for everyone, but if you enjoy them, today’s video is a gem. In it, host James Pumphrey takes auto enthusiasts on a road trip through the last century, highlighting the fastest vehicles of any particular year.
If you watch the video, you’ll see a variety of makes from Mercedes to Jaguar to Shelby to Porsche, Ferrari, and Bugatti. It’s definitely worth a look if you have a few minutes. What’s most interesting, and perhaps least surprising, is how particular models tend to hold the record for larger chunks save for more competitive eras.
