“The British kettle car has successfully smashed the 100 year old record for fastest steam-powered vehicle.

The car hit an average speed of 139.843mph over two runs at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The British Steam Car Challenge was driven by Charles Burnett III and broke 150mph for its fastest trip over a measured mile.”
