Wait until you find out about Duesenberg. They made 400hp supercharged straight 8 monsters that cost more than a doctors annual salary back in the 20's and 30's. They were much faster than even race cars of the era. IMO the first relative "hypercars" if you compare what else was available.
Duck Duck Go-ing now!

Found it! Brilliant car! My car has 460hp on 285s and it takes nothing to break them lose in the first three gears. I can't imagine 400hp on what in comparison are bicycle tires. I'd love a ride in one of these someday.
