The Legend of Mefistofele Created by Sir Ernest Eldridge using an old Fiat SB4 chassis and a WWI airplane engine, this car was nicknamed "Mefistofele" (Mephistopheles) due to the infernal noise generated by its free-flowing exhaust. On July 12, 1924, in Arpajon, France, Eldridge pushed this black beast to an extraordinary 146.01 mph (230 km/h), claiming the world speed record.
