Built for Speed — Ground FX Salt Flats Racer
Out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, style follows function. The endless white horizon rewards only one thing: speed. Ground FX looks like it was designed by engineers who viewed every unnecessary gram and every extra square centimetre of drag as the enemy. The cockpit sits far forward, the body hugs the ground, and every curve is shaped to slice cleanly through the air. Tall, narrow tyres minimise rolling resistance while the smooth underside and streamlined bodywork help the car stay stable at extraordinary speeds. This is not a race car designed to corner. It is a machine built for a single purpose: setting records on an endless sea of salt.

The Pursuit of Maximum Speed
Land-speed racing is different from almost every other form of motorsport. Instead of focusing on handling, braking, or racecraft, the challenge is deceptively simple: travel faster than anyone has before. That singular objective has produced some of the most fascinating vehicles in automotive history, machines shaped entirely by the science of reducing drag and maintaining stability at extreme speeds.
Ground FX embraces those principles perfectly. Its low centre of gravity helps keep the vehicle planted, while the sleek body minimises aerodynamic resistance. Even the tall, narrow tyres reflect genuine salt-flats racing practice, where reduced rolling resistance can contribute to higher terminal speeds.
Within the Salt Flat Racers collection, Ground FX represents the futuristic side of the sport. It captures the spirit of the dreamers, engineers, and speed enthusiasts who travel to Bonneville chasing records with machines built for one purpose only. In a world full of compromises, a land-speed racer remains wonderfully pure: every decision is made in the pursuit of going just a little bit faster.
