COULD go 300.
if it is actually street-legal in the USA,
AND it really does go 300 on a legal street,

Maybe the USA auto industry (a tad late to the game, as usual). Mass production? Usually attributed to Henry.. +/-

This is very USA centric, but I do like to note:

1892: William Morrison in Chicago introduces the first electric car of the USA

https://www.scaruffi.com/politics/cars.html


Fast production? a friend just took delivery of his (3rd) GT-40.
1965
2005
2019

It may be the quickest but a 2019 ZR1 Corvette easily tops 200mph, making it faster by a good margin.
