Oct. 10, 1956 - Italian beats record in his strange looking car The world record for the 500 cc class over one kilometre from a standing start previously held by the German driver, Von Opel, was broken on Tuesday at Castelfusano, near Rome, by Pietro Taruffi, the Italian driver in a double-torpedo car which he designed himself. The engine is housed in the right-hand torpedo, whilst the driver sits in the other. Keystone Photo Shows: Pietro Taruffi, seated in the strange looking car, sets off the start of his record attempt
