Above is seen the chassis of the 1,500 h.p. car which, at Daytona Beach, Florida, on Sunday last beat Capt. Malcolm's record speed of 206.96 miles per hour by attaining an average speed of 207.55 m.p.h. over a two-way run. This car, designed by Mr. J. M. White (inset), is driven by three motors of 12 cyclinders each. It was disqualified in the International Trials at which Capt. Malcolm made his record because it has no reversé gear.
