Red things just seem to go faster. In fiction, make something red and you can almost guarantee it'll move quicker, as if the ''colour itself'' [[Artistic License Physics|reduces drag, lowers inertia and increases forward momentum]]. A visual shorthand for getting the point across that an object is zippy.

* [[Speed Racer]]'s car has red features.
* in the ''[[Ranma One Half]]'' anime Ranma gets a huge increase in speed when [[Gender Bender Superpower|he turns female]], and also Red Hair instead of his male black. For female martial artists, red wunz go fasta.
* To say that [[Gundam]] series has become enamored with this trope would not be an overstatement. In the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|original Gundam]], the only way one could tell apart Char Aznable's [[A Mech

* ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'': When Experiment 626 steals a police cruiser to escape, of course he takes the red one. [[Lampshaded]] by his (now former) captors.
** Subverted; its ''only'' advantage that we see over the mundane greens is a [[Gatling Good|Gatling plasma cannon]].

* In ''[[Space: Above and Beyond]]'', there is an episode where the Chigs are shown to have specially modified fighters that can skip across the event horizon of a black hole. They look exactly like regular Chig fighters except that they are red.
* The power of the Red Ranger in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'' is super speed.

* ''[[Dawn of War]]'': The Orcs vehicle speed upgrade is called "Da Red Wunz go Fasta."
* Link's Loftwing in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'' is said to be the fastest in all of Skyloft. It's known as the Crimson Loftwing. [[Captain Obvious|Guess what color it is?]]
* ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'' has this as one of the many collectible Video Game Cliches.
* In ''[[Mario Kart]]'' 7, one of the customizable tire sets that can be used on a kart is the Red Monster wheels, which have a slightly higher acceleration than the normal Monster Wheels, which are blue.
