At almost any given point in our history, there's evidence of our attempts to push
speed boundaries to new and faster heights.
Now in the 21st century, technology has enabled us to create some of the fastest inventions
imaginable.
Whether its a motorcycle, submarine, car, train, helicopter, tank or sled, it's hard
to believe the speeds we have been able to achieve.
From a supersonic car to a the fastest boat in the world these are the 20 fastest vehicles
known to the human race.

Steam train Top speed of 202.58 km/h for a train might
not seem as astonishing these days but considering this speed was achieved in 1938 by a steam
