Yes the forward speed of a typical tornado is about 30 Mph. Since the fastest car has a speed comparable to 250+ mph ... it sure can outrun the tornado

Most cars could outrun a tornado if you don't get to close to it. Once you get close the flying objects and debris on the ground could stop you no matter how fast the car. Never try to outrun a tornado seek shelter at once.
