speedster

One who zooms

A speedster is someone or something notably fast.

The word applies to swift athletes, quick vehicles, and characters in superhero stories known for their speed: The veteran speedster won his third Olympic gold.

In automotive contexts, speedster often names lightweight, high-performance two-seaters designed for speed over comfort.
