World champion Wilhelm Noll had nothing less than the absolute speed record for sidecars in mind when he started his record ride on October 5, 1955, with this streamlined BMW three-wheeler - the co-driver was simulated by a weight. On the Munich-Ingolstadt Autobahn, Noll achieved the best time of 280.20 km/h, a record that remained unmatched until the 1990s.
