The 1968 Cyclone dropped Comet from its name and had a mid tire level body tape stripe. It was named the fastest car of that year because it set a world record speed of 189.22 miles per hour at Daytona. The 302 cubic inch standard engine was available as a two barrel at 210 horsepower or a four barrel at 230, and the limited production 428 Cobra Jet became available mid year, rated 335 horsepower. In the 1968 Daytona 500 the Cyclone took both first and second place.
