Fiat Mefistofele, the Queen of World Land Speed

The one-off racing car “Eldridge”, derived from the old Fiat SB4
chassis, became known as Mephistofele for the infernal noise emitted by
its powerful aircraft 6-cylinders in-line engine, giving a capacity over
20,000 cm3, not attenuated by exhaust mufflers kept “free” to provide
the most significant performance. On 12th July 1924 in Arpajon, the
Mefistofele, was able to reach, driven by its pilot and designer Ernest
Eldrige, the amazing speed, for the time, of 146,01 miles per hour (over
230 Km/h) and broke the World Land Speed Record achieving an impressive
result. The Mefistofele, was characterized by the high back bodywork
able to contain the powerful Fiat A-12 liquid-cooled engine and for its structure especially made to achieve the speed record.<br /
