Fastest Car is a competition reality TV show that premiered on Netflix in 2018. The series revolves around the world of street racing and showcases various modified cars going head-to-head in a drag race. Each episode features three "sleeper cars," which are ordinary-looking vehicles that have been significantly enhanced under the hood, and a high-performance supercar. The show not only focuses on the adrenaline-filled races, but it also takes a closer look at the owners and builders behind these hidden speed machines. It explores their passion for cars, the personal stories that led them to modify their vehicles, and the unique strategies they employ to outpace the powerful supercars.

Making / Production
