Do you know what this is?

 

XP47J Superbolt. It was a more streamlined Thunderbolt with an engine that was supposed to make more power and was to be originally equipped with a contra rotating propeller. 

 

Development problems kept it from being developed and put into production, but, it did record the fastest speed for a propeller driven aircraft during WWII at 505 MPH

And that record wasn't broken until 1989.
