British steam supercar to challenge world land speed record - Telegraph
The 25ft-long British Steam Car - dubbed the ''fastest kettle in the world'' - aims to beat a speed of 127mph reached by American Fred Marriott in a Stanley steam car in 1906 at the Daytona Beach Road Course.
It is the longest officially-recognised land speed record, but the British team hope to overhaul it by reaching 170mph with their car at the Edwards Air Force base in California.
