Land speed record cars

Quote:
The Renault Étoile Filante (Shooting Star) was Renault's first and only attempts at both a land speed record car for a gas turbine-powered car.
In 1954 the French aeronautical turbines manufacturer Turboméca proposed Renault making a gas turbine technology engineered car for exalting the benefits of it and for trying to break the a speed record.
The car was tested in the wind tunnel between 1954 and 1955.
