The Alexander Winton Racer - Bullet No.2

The Winton Bullet No.2 was equipped with a straight eight cylinder horizontal engine and weighed 3,400 pounds. This engine was the very first eight cylinder built in the United States. Winton knew that the conventional way of creating more horsepower by enlarging the displacement of 1, 2 or 4 cylinder engine was unreliable. The Bullet No.2 produced over 80 horsepower and at the hands of Winton, Barney Oldfield and Earl H. Kiser it captured many world records.

It was officially timed at a speed of 64.52 MPH in 1903 at a race track in New York. That same year it set a new record of 68.18 MPH at Cleveland's Glenville track. Then in 1904 at Daytona Beach it set yet another record of 83.7 MPH.
