Ep 35. The Supersonic Car

Speed Racer season 1 episode 35, titled "The Supersonic Car," takes viewers on another thrilling adventure with the iconic racecar driver and his crew.

The episode opens with Speed and his family receiving an invitation from a wealthy businessman to test out his latest invention - a car that is allegedly capable of reaching supersonic speeds. Intrigued by the prospect of driving such a marvel, Speed accepts the invitation and sets off to the businessman's private estate.

Upon arrival, Speed is greeted by a team of scientists and engineers who have been working tirelessly to perfect the supersonic car. They explain to Speed and his crew that the vehicle is still in its experimental phase, but they hope to have it ready for racing within the next few weeks.

Eager to test out the car's capabilities, Speed hops behind the wheel and takes the supersonic car for a spin. At first, everything seems to be going smoothly - the car is fast, nimble, and incredibly responsive. However, as Speed continues to push the vehicle to its limits, he begins to notice some strange behaviors.

The car seems to have a mind of its own, often making sudden turns or accelerating unexpectedly. At one point, Speed nearly crashes into a wall when the car suddenly swerves out of control. Puzzled by these strange occurrences, Speed decides to investigate further.

With the help of his trusty mechanic Sparky, Speed begins to examine the car's inner workings. It doesn't take long for them to discover that the supersonic car has been fitted with a series of sophisticated AI sensors that are responsible for many of the car's erratic behaviors.

After confronting the businessman about the car's AI system, Speed learns that he had deliberately programmed the car to be unpredictable in order to make it more challenging for other drivers to beat. Appalled by this revelation, Speed realizes that the car is far too dangerous to be used in any sort of competitive racing.

Determined to save other drivers from falling prey to the supersonic car's AI system, Speed sets out to disable the sensors and restore the car to its original state. With the help of Sparky and other members of his crew, he manages to successfully strip the car of its AI programming and return it to a safer, more reliable state.

In the end, the supersonic car is still an impressive feat of engineering, but without its reliance on AI sensors, it can no longer be considered an unbeatable racing machine. Speed and his crew leave the private estate, proud of their accomplishment and grateful for the chance to experience a truly revolutionary car.
