Let's see, at Bonneville the speed of sound is around 750 mph. So he pierced ~48% of the sound barrier. Wow.

Cool, I didn't know we were going that fast back in the 1930s! This channel never ceases to amaze me with its innovative concept cars! Keep up the great work!

This is an impressive car that not only looks great, but has some very interesting, "out-of-the-box" design solutions. As far as I can tell, there is a (expensive) diecast available in 1/43rd scale. But the Hawk / Testors model companies produced simple kits of LSR-type cars that could be used as a base for scratch builders and super-detailers to capture the overall "look and feel." Though stated to be 1/32nd scale, the basic design is "scale fluid" enough to use for 1/43rd, if the builder prefers. Thanks for sharing this! 61st Like

Very good video… the Railton was very aerodynamic and well engineered to hold the land speed record that long. Also the headline for this video is a metaphor, it’s not clickbait.

Thank you very much. I don't understand why a headline is considered clickbait either. I just want headlines to look interesting, not just consist of the make of the car.

Thinking about the 2700 Horsepower of the two engines . . .nowadays there is a car in the US with 2700 hp, a Ford GT of Jonny Bohmer, climbing up to 500 kph. So our grandfathers DID know something about aerodynamics and technology and achieved more than 600 kph.

This channel is great. No extra yak yak, right to the technical details. Well edited. To me, the wheel driven machines are the most interesting. Rocket and jet propelled vehicles are interesting, but really they are aircraft forced to the ground by aerodynamics

Well, hearing about the speeds that „car“ reached, I assume that the sound barrier was relatively unimpressed by said „piercing“ attempts. However that sound barrier may be somewhat embarressed by your clickbait misuse…
