Piloted by Guy Martin, an ex Tourist Trophy racer, the ‘52’ Express is just about ready for next year to set a new land speed record, which currently stands at 376.363 miles per hour. The project’s goal is squarely set at 400 miles per hour, ideally surpassing the record by about 25 miles per hour.
The ‘52 Express is powered by a Rolls-Royce Lynx helicopter turbine engine that produces 1,200 shaft horsepower. The MIRA Technology Institute (MTI) is supporting the record attempt and has provided key resources to the project in order to develop and create the body and the other features that’ll help the project be propelled into the history books.
