Capable of speeds over 100 miles an hour, an Italian racing car looks more like a pair of wheeled torpedoes than a motor vehicle. The driver sits in one torpedo while the power plant, a 500-cubic-centimeter motorcycle engine, is in the other. The car covered one mile at an average of 79.9 miles an hour from a standstill; 126.4 miles an hour with a flying start.
