Watch this Buick Riviera set a Bonneville Land Speed Record – GT Speed

This Riviera sets a Bonneville Land Speed Record with the strangest engine ever.

Jeff Brock is the driver of this 1952 Buick Riviera. Dubbed “Bombshell Betty” this machine is seen setting a world-record for its class at Bonneville October of 2012.

Amidst the eccentric looking air dam and aerodynamic enhancements, what stands out most from this car is its straight eight cylinder engine, which produces a glorious roar with its exhaust note, a sound unlike any modern vehicle produces.
