Product Description
[Triumph GT6 C/BFMS Landracer 1971 (UK/USA)]
- Keith Copeland's record car was based on a 1971 Triumph GT 6 MK 3.
- But in 2012, outdated technology will no longer work for cars trying to reach top speed.
- The roof has been lowered by a whopping 5 inches, in line with the vision of world record aspirants.
- The long and narrow bonnet drops to the ground and surrounds the front wheels to minimize air resistance.
- With the addition of a front attachment, the wheelbase has been extended from the original a little over 2 meters to 130 inches (a little less than 3.3 meters).
- To set a new record, Keith Copeland replaced the traditional Triumph 6-cylinder with a 5.9L 360ci engine (Brodix Small Block), once built by Chevrolet.
- The engine was tuned by Moran Motorsport, and the twin turbocharger, methanol injection, and ice water cooling succeeded in drawing out a maximum output of 2,200ps.
- Contrary to Triumph specifications, power was transmitted to the ground (specifically the hard salt surface of Bonneville, Utah) through the front wheels rather than the rear axle.
- In 2010 and October 2012, Keith Copeland embarked on Bonneville Salt Lake in a red-painted World Record Hunter.
- In 2012 he hit a top speed of 380 mph.
- Average round-trip speed of 364,051 mph, which was officially recognized and has since set a new historic world record.
