Synopsis
In the Bonneville Salt Flats, one can hear the roar of engines in the distance. Behind the wheel is Icarus, a chimpanzee determined to exceed the limits of speed. Aboard iconic and increasingly powerful vehicles, Icarus will try to reach the maximum speed of 400 Mph, believed impossible for land vehicles. As Icarus reaches for the sky, will he triumph or be consumed by his self-destructive quest?
