rocket car
Jet-propelled automobile
A rocket car is a vehicle propelled by rocket engines rather than conventional internal combustion or electric motors.
Most rocket cars are experimental vehicles built to break land speed records, using the same thrust principle as spacecraft: The rocket car crossed the salt flats at over 600 miles per hour.
The term sometimes appears in science fiction or describes novelty vehicles with rocket-like styling.
