9) Irving-Napier Golden Arrow - 231 MPH
The machine set a record of 231 miles per hour on March 11, 1929 and was made by Henry Seagrave who held the land and water speed records. A 925 horsepower, 23.9-liter Napier Lion W12 aero engine, powered the car and it was cooled by ice, not a radiator. The record was set at Daytona Beach, Florida. The car is now on display at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Hampshire, England.
