Railton Special
The Railton Special, also known as the Railton Mobil Special, is a one-off motor vehicle built for John Cobb's successful attempts at the land speed record. Powered by 2 supercharged W12-block Napier Lion V11D (WD) aircraft engines, it was the first ground vehicle to break 400 mph in a measured test.
