Lessee, the 100 hp Mark 5 was going to take the car to 200 mph and the 330 hp Mark 6 was going to increase that to 400 mph*, so 3.3x the hp gives 2x the speed.

The Mark 10 is 1500/330 = 4.5x the power of the Mark 6. It will go 4.5/3.3 x 2 = 2.75x the speed of the Mark 6.

2.75 x 400 mph = 1100 mph. Not bad. That'll show all those dumb people who were only able to take the world absolute speed record to a paltry 763 mph.

* According to the math of Harry Schoell. He's a genuine "in-genius", so it must be true.

If you remember the only reason they didn't run at Bonneville was they couldn't find a safety helmet to fit Harry, never said the engine was not ready.
