Prior to the first hypercar to gain worldwide popularity, Oldsmobile stunned the motor industry with its exotic speedster that hit a record 257 miles per hour. The Aerotech concept was supported by GM engineering and it showed that American performance, despite all efforts, could compete with the world's fastest cars. However, the project fizzled out without making a significant mark in automotive history. The forgotten record has since become one of the most interesting and under-publicized events in American car culture and is still fondly remembered by enthusiasts a quarter of a century later.
