Description

Designed by Ernest Eldridge, the FIAT Mefistofele was a standard car chassis equipped with an army surplus 6-cylinder, 320 PS, FIAT A.12 airplane engine. Eldridge drove the car to a new land speed record of 143mph in 1924. This was the last land speed record to be set on a public road and it set off a storm of automotive development. The characteristic shape of the Mefistofele—an engine with wheels—is an eye-catching marvel well deserving of a space on discerning collector's walls.
