You cant really have "distance of speed." Speed is distance covered in a second, and so distance makes up speed.

Sorry, if you were after the speed of light in a vaccuum its 3X10^8 m/s and if you were after the speed of sound in a vacuum then that cant happen, as sound needs particles to work.

There are many ways to interpret your question.
My first assumption is that the words you used were not what you meant.
Speed is defined as the distance traveled in a unit of time. An example would be miles per hour.
The definition of vacuum is a volume which contains no mater.
To measure the distance traveled through a vacuum one must either send an electromagnetic wave(light, radio, etc) across the vacuum and measure how long it takes to receive a reflection or place a physical measuring device(yard stick, tape measure, etc.) through the vacuum and assume the the distance is not affected by the measuring device.
Another meaning of your question might be that you want to know how rapidly space in the universe is growing. I don't know but the red shift of light from distant galaxies is evidence that the distance between galaxies has grown in the past and that the farther away the galaxy the greater the distance has grown.
