[NT_03]

This particular car entered in the history books for long, for it's land speed record in 1909. This particular car was built by Benz and Cie in Mannheim. This car is also known for reaching speeds never heard of back then, which is 202 KM/H. Beating it's defending champion motorcycle, piloted by Glenn Curtis back then in 1907. This particular model is powered by a hefty 21.5 Litre (or 1,312 Cubic Inches for you imperial users. ) Straight-Four, making a whopping 200 HP. It broke it's own record in 1911, and it stood until 1919. This particular car was rebuilt for circuit racing in 1914 and was sadly, broken up in 1923. But, some examples of it survived to the 21st Century.

Back then, it was the world's fastest car. Now, it's one of the world's rarest cars, possibly to hold a very expensive price tag.
