EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Serpollet Steam Car, specifically the Oeuf de Pâques or "Easter Egg," which made history in 1902 by setting the World Land Speed Record. Designed and built by the visionary Leon Serpollet, this innovative vehicle hailed from France and represented a significant milestone in the annals of motoring history. The Oeuf de Pâques, with its distinctive wedge-shaped nose and pointed front end, was a marvel of engineering for its time. Powered by steam, it challenged the dominance of petrol-driven cars and showcased the potential of alternative energy sources. The sleek design, while aesthetically pleasing, served a practical purpose as well, reducing air resistance and enhancing the vehicle's speed. The record-breaking achievement of the Oeuf de Pâques took place on April 14, 1902, at the Circuit de la Ferté-Gaucher in France. Serpollet himself piloted the car, reaching an impressive speed of 65.8 kilometers per hour (41 miles per hour). This groundbreaking accomplishment not only solidified Serpollet's reputation as a pioneer in the field of steam-powered transportation but also paved the way for further advancements in automotive technology. As a testament to its historical significance, this photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of early automotive pioneers who dared to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what was thought possible. Today, the Serpollet Steam Car and its record-breaking Easter Egg remain an inspiration for those who continue to explore the potential of alternative energy sources and innovative designs in the world of transportation.
