As far as I know it shouldn't affect top speed (assuming that is the question). Weight will affect acceleration and therefore speed after a given amount of time or distance. An example would be 1/4 mile times at a race track. But top speed should be governed primarily by the wind resistance of the body, horsepower of the engine, and the overall gear ratio in Top Gear. Weight may affect rolling resistance slightly and therefore affect top speed but I suspect this affect would be negligible.

Does a design of a car affect the speed?

Yes, the design of a car can affect its speed. Factors such as aerodynamics, weight distribution, and overall shape can impact the car's ability to move efficiently through the air, which can ultimately affect its speed and performance. sleek, streamlined designs are typically better suited for achieving higher speeds.


Does the height of a car affect a car's speed?

The cross sectional area of a car is dependent on its height. As the area changes the drag on the car, it is likely that increasing the height of a car will also reduce its top speed. There are many other factors that affect a car's maximum speed so a change in height may not always result in a change in top speed.
