Segrave in the 1000 hp Sunbeam sometimes called the Mystery S
Segrave in the 1000 hp Sunbeam sometimes called the Mystery S. The car was designed by Louis Coatalen and was unlike anything produced before. Its foundation consisted of a massive steel-channel chassis frame, at each end of which was mounted a 5000 hp 12 cylinder Sunbeam-Coatalen aero engine. The 500 hp was developed at 2, 250 rpm. The body of the car was built in sections of sheet aluminium, securely fastened on a framework of angle iron. It overall length was 23 feet 6 inches. The tyres measured 6 3/4 inches x 36 inches. At 200 mph the tyres made 1, 800 rpm or 30 per second. The car weighed about 3 tonnes
