U.S. team to attempt land speed record for steam-powered vehicles
The LSR Streamliner, once complete, will be used in an attempt on the land speed record for steam-powered vehicles

The current land speed record for a steam-powered vehicle currently sits at 148 mph (238 kph), set by the British car Inspiration team in 2009. Now, Chuk Williams’ U.S. Land Steam Record (USLSR) Team is hoping to steal that title in its LSR Streamliner, powered by a heat-regenerative external combustion Cyclone engine – an engine that could someday find common use in production automobiles.
