On 19 August 1985, Robert E Barber broke the 79-year-old record for a steam car when Steamin' Demon, built by the Barber-Nichols Engineering Co., reached 234.331 km/h (145.607 mi/h) at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA.

This record is not officially sanctioned by the FIA. The FIA record currently stands at 225.05 km/h (139.84 mi/h) by the steam car "Inspiration", driven by Charles Burnett III (USA) at Edwards Airbase, California, USA, on 25 August 2009. Their team, however, stated that their final goal will be to break our Guinness World Record.
