Dragster seems to vanish into thin air as it accelerates to 300mph

This jet dragster seems to vanish into thin air under heavy acceleration on a drag strip.

Built by a company called FireForce, this dragster is capable of incredible acceleration.

It’s so fast it can reach 300mph in less than a mile.

It probably explains why it literally disappeared in the clip you see above.

This jet dragster does 0-300mph in less time than cars can do 0-60mph

Jet dragsters are built specifically for straight line acceleration, and nothing else.

They’re designed to reach the highest possible speed in the shortest amount of time, burning a lot of rubber and making a lot of noise in the process.

This one, called FireForce 5, does to 0 to 300mph on a drag strip in less time than most cars take to get to 60mph.

Built in the UK and powered by the same turbojet engine you can expect to find in a jet built by Lockheed, these jet generate up to 10,000 horsepower and only weigh less than 800kg.

It accelerates so violently and suddenly that the camera can’t keep up with its speed, and the smoke the tires produces enhances the visual effect, giving the impression the jet just vanished.

Can you drive one of these on the road?

Jet dragsters are designed for speed on the racetrack but, on occasions, you can find them elsewhere as well.

There are drag boats built to set equivalent records on water, and then there are street-legal versions.

A man in Canada spent 17 years building his own DIY jet-engine-powered dragster, which was actually based on a Ferrari, of all cars.

On another occasion, we found neon-colored, turbojet-powered Mercedes stretch limousine that was also a dragster.

The owner tried selling it at auction, but it didn’t meet reserve.

Color us shocked.
