Je sais ce n'est pas une voiture! Cependant, je croix que cette "Photo" valait la penne d'être vue!
En passant elle à été repris par le "Journal de Montréal" et sûrement par le "Journal de Québec"?
A quieter ‘boom’? Groundbreaking NASA photos capture supersonic waves colliding mid-flight
Space agency leaps forward in bid to bring supersonic air travel over land
These two U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School T-38 aircraft are flying in formation, approximately 30 feet apart (9 meters), at supersonic speeds. The images, originally monochromatic and shown here as colorized composite images, were captured during a supersonic flight series flown, in part, to better understand how shocks interact with aircraft plumes.

New air-to-air photographic technology has moved NASA closer to developing a quieter supersonic aircraft – the futuristic sounding X-59 QueSST – after the space agency captured for the first time the interaction of shockwaves travelling faster than the speed of sound.
NASA spent the past decade developing the new technology, which was recently used to photograph two T-38s from the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The T-38s were flying in formation, approximately 30 feet apart (9 meters), at supersonic speeds. Data gathered using the new tech is moving NASA closer to one day producing the unthinkable – supersonic aircraft that produce a "quiet rumble" instead of an ear-shattering boom when breaking the sound barrier.
