1909 Benz and Cie
"Blitzen Benz"
Long before Karl Benz merged his company
with the one founded by Gottlieb Daimler (d.1900) and formed Daimler-Benz
in 1926, he built this
200 horsepower chain-driven beast which set the world speed record
on April 23, 1911, driven by Bob Burman. It was much faster than
contemporary airplanes.
