MegaSpeed is a one-hour Discovery Channel Canada documentary series focusing on fast vehicles and the people who race them. MegaSpeed is a high-adrenaline magazine show that puts the pedal to the metal in search of the fastest and most powerful vehicles, gadgets and gear around the world. From souped-up dragsters on the strip, to customized 'street legal' roadsters on the street, this show is all about our need for speed: how we find it, how we use it, and the price we pay for our obsession.
