Fastest Car in The World Breaks Records Driven by Stirling Moss (1957) | Sporting History

[@sim_1]

The cars too are so beautiful to look at in person as well. With the cars being part of the British Motor Museums collection, just being in the presence of the cars whilst also being able to admire every centimetre of them. Truly is an experience that is in itself.

I agree but they look Iike a soft clean sheet of aluminum

RIP Stirling Moss.

[@oldsccaguyyah9901]

Thanks for this! I've heard about this thing since I was a kid, but have never seen anything other than still photos of the attempt (or the car in a museum). You are an automotive archaeologist.

RIP Sir Stirling moss

[@mk_annan22]

how about that for a world record!! A car built for speed as fast as 240mph and that too in 1957..!!!!!

[@milesromanus7041]

And that with a 1.5L engine

[@SuperGeronimo999]

​@@milesromanus7041 Watched another video and he said 240 kilometers / hour... and i was impressed but eh, nowadays a VW Golf can drive faster than that. Turns out it goes 240 mph... (386 kmh)

Rip Moss

[@britishkid2550]

Beautiful

[@nzoomed]

Have you got the full length clip of this?

In 2024, car makers still can't make a car that seals perfectly.

[@DavidSmith-gx5mu]

MG!

[@Battlefresh]

4 miles a minute = 240 mph

[@gotham61]

This car was fastest in its class, but not even close to being the "fastest car in the world." At the time of this film that record was held by the Railton Mobil Special, with a run 10 years earlier that was about 150 MPH faster.

[@rondog540]

This is true. Still an incredible speed for a 1.5L twin cam vehicle, possibly more remarkable when compared to the Railton with one W12 aircraft engine driving each axle 😮

[@smullins17]

so they learned nothing from that 10 second test? please explain.

MG is now My Glamour ☹️💩
