Verne imagined that it might be possible for a motorized vehicle to travel at the incredible speed of at least 150 miles per hour.
Compare to Robert Heinlein's Camden Speedster from his 1941 novel Methuselah's Children. If you're wondering if there is some other dimension in which a vehicle could move, see the Anacronopete from Enrique Gaspar's eponymous 1887 story.
