As King_Corduroy asked about games with cyberpunk aesthetic, Ballistic came to my mind. The thing about that game is that it's virtually useless except for the fact that you can go insanely fast in it. In fact, you can go supersonic and then some.
So I thought to myself: is this the fastest you can go in a game? Let's find out! Post your speed finds here and we shall see who knows how to go fastest.
Rules:
- The games cannot be modified. Only stock, vanilla games.
- Glitches count, as long as they aren't caused by cheats, mods etc. Let's make this interesting.
- No cheats allowed
- Power-ups are allowed
- Games for every platform count, whether it's PC, a game console or a handheld, it doesn't matter as long as it's technically a game.
- The games need to have some way of clearly indicating speed. It can be mph or kph. If the game doesn't indicate speed in any way or if it just measures it in unknown units, it doesn't count.
- It doesn't matter what you're driving/piloting/controlling, as long as it's a vehicle of some kind, and as long as it's in a racing game. No sims.
- If possible, please provide a screenshot or a video to confirm the speeds.
- Just because you can't find a game in which you can't go faster than the top ones on our little list here, doesn't mean you shouldn't post it anyway.
- You can post as many examples of games as you want.
So here's the current ranking, which I will keep updating as you guys find the fastest stuff:
1. Big Rigs Over the Road Racing - Yeah, as you can see, immediately there's something to take the cake away from Ballistic. Why? Below, I put a link to an AVGN episode showing that in this pathetic excuse for a game you can go outside of the track into a (probably) infinite wasteland, put your truck into reverse, and accelerate to (theoretically) infinite speeds. It might be a glitch but it still counts. This one will be difficult to beat unless you are able to prove that the truck stops accelerating at some point. If not, the next game to take the nr. 1 spot will be one in which you can go to infinite speeds... but accelerating towards them quicker. Good luck with that.

2. Gran Turismo 3 - Gran Turismo 3 has that "glitch" where you can do silly high speeds in a Suzuki - top speed achieved in the video below: 2147483647km/h (submitted by obobskivich):

2. Ballistic - So yeah, as I've said, you can go into mad supersonic speeds with this one. Below is a link to a YouTube video of a guy seamlessly reaching speeds of Mach 3 (as far as I was able to notice). You can probably push the limit beyond that, though. Feel free to share if you've found a video proving that or make one yourself.

3. Test Drive 4 - There's a glitch that allows you to go 999mph. (submitted by AlphaWing)
4. Dethkarz - I'll be honest I put it here simply because nothing else comes to my mind atm. As shown in the video below, you can easily reach speeds of well over 300 kph.
