Chapter I

The Story

1899. Long before the modern electric car, a torpedo-shaped machine called La Jamais Contente became the first automobile ever to break 100 km/h — and it was electric. Silent where others roared, it was, for one brief moment in history, the fastest thing on wheels. The future was already here; the world just wasn’t ready to keep it. This design celebrates that moment in the spirit of a vintage archive plate.

The chest wears a diamond badge; the back carries the full graphic — the electric speed machine with its lightning and the story printed like a page from an archive.
