dragster
A dragster is a specialized race car designed for straight-line speed over a short distance, typically a quarter mile. Built for maximum acceleration, it features an elongated body, powerful engines, and lightweight construction to minimize weight and maximize performance. The goal is to achieve the fastest possible time from start to finish. Dragsters are used in drag racing, a motorsport where drivers compete to see who can cover the distance the quickest. Their design emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency and engine power, making them among the fastest accelerating vehicles on Earth.
