Category:Voisin Yacco Speed World records 1927 Car

Car specially built by Gabriel Voisin to take up the challenge of the World Speed Records organized by Yacco on the Montlhéry circuit in 1927 ; 8-liter in-line 8-cylinder engine with a large Tecalemit air filter and two Zénith carburettors, developing more than 210 hp. At the end of the summer of 1927, driven by César Marchand and André Morel, it had already broken 8 world speed records; more prestigious, on September 26, 1927, with the addition of Serge Kiriloff, she won 9 world speed records over 24 hours with an average speed of 182,66 km/h and 4 383,851 km traveled. Unfortunately this car, particularly its engine, no longer exists and this replica is powered by a six-cylinder engine with modern bodywork. Source
