SECRET CAR
“SUPER” ROLLS ROYCE The “Daily News” learns that an entirely new model six-cylinder super Rolls Royce touring car is nearing completion in a secret experimental factory in Derby. The engine is of 37 horse-power (nominal), and can develop a maxi mum of 180 horse-power, capable of driving a seven-seater saloon at i speed of more than 100 miles an hour. It can accelerate from 10 to 60 mi' :s an hour in 10 seconds. The new model is the result of three years’ research, and a fortune was spent on experiments. It is an extraordinary marriage of the cleverest brains of aero and car engineering, and persons “in the know” describe it as being 15 years ahead of the world’s best car.
