On July 21, 1904 in Ostend, Belgium Louis Rigolly stepped into his Gobron-Brillié ready to drive down the Ostend-Newport road.This was no ordinary drive however, as Louis Rigolly pushed his 15-liter Gobron-Brillié to an unheard of 103.56 MPH or 166.66 kilometers per hour making the Gobron-Brillié the world's first car to reach 100 MPH and Louis Rigolly the first driver to do so.
