The White Triplex was a land speed record car built in 1928 to push the boundaries of speed engineering. What sets it apart is its unique design: three Liberty V12 aero engines, each delivering about 400 horsepower, combined to generate immense power. The total output exceeded 1,200 hp, an extraordinary feat for its time.

This image showcases the Triplex's chassis with the three engines in full view, emphasizing its raw mechanical might. The car achieved a record-breaking run of 207.55 mph (334.02 km/h) with Ray Keech behind the wheel in 1928. However, the car's simplicity, with no clutch or gearbox, made it notoriously difficult to control.

Despite its achievements, the Triplex remains a reminder of the extreme risks involved in land speed racing during its era. Its history reflects the unrelenting human desire to defy limits.
