Built with the purpose of breaking the 200 km/h, the Blitzen Benz capabilities a four cylinders engine primarily based on the Grand Prix automobile. But its no longer the 4 cyl you might have on your Golf, the displacement became enlarged to 21.5 liters (1310ci) and the output reached 200bhp. On April 23, 1911, on Daytona seashore, the pilot Bob Burman recorded a median speed of 225.65 km/h, quicker than any car on land had ever been. The record remained unbroken till 1919.
