I've read of a rocket-powered, super-cavitating, VA-111 Shkval torpedo, which operated beyond 230- mph underwater. Some of the rocket exhaust was shunted through the torpedo, and released at the nose, allowing the torpedo's surface to interface against a gaseous fluid, instead a liquid fluid. We wouldn't be able to utilize this phase differential on an automobile, as the atmosphere is always in gaseous phase.
