The Jeantaud was a French automobile manufactured in Paris from 1893 until 1906 it was the brainchild of Charles Jeantaud, a coach builder who built his first electric carriage in 1881.
Among the vehicles he constructed was the first car to set a land speed record 39·24 mph, driven by Camille Jenatzy a Belgian race car driver.
He is known for breaking the land speed record three times and being the first man to break the 100 km/h barrier.
La Jamais Contente (The Never Satisfied) was the first vehicle to go over 100 km/h it was an electric vehicle with light alloy torpedo shaped bodywork (although the high position of the driver and the exposed chassis below spoiled much of the aerodynamics.
Chassis number was n°25. The land speed record was established, according to sources, on April 29 or May 1, 1899 at Achères, Yvelines near Paris, France.
The vehicle had two direct drive Postel-Vinay 25 kW motors, running at 200 V drawing 124 Amperes, and was equipped with Michelin tires.
The car reached 105.882 km/h (65.792 mph); pulverizing the previous record, after this exploit the combustion engine using gasoline would supplant electric technology for the next century.
