Goldenrod – Cheating the Wind, Setting a Record
This schematic drawing illustrates how the four engines drove the four wheels via two transmissions and a drive shaft that ran along the left side of the car.


Goldenrod’s first public demonstration was on the Riverside sports car
track in southern California. This overhead view shows how tightly the
machinery was packed inside the car’s slim envelope.
