TF/Ds (Top Fuel Dragsters) are considered among the fastest accelerating machines in the world. How fast? Oh just fast enough to cover a quarter of a mile in less than 4.5 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 530km/h. Not very impressive? Try this, even the fastest production car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, needs 9.2 seconds to cover the quarter mile.
