Britain?s 1000mph car has been unveiled in Bristol, as its bid to break the world land speed record gathers momentum.
Bloodhound SSC has gone through 10 design evolutions since October 2008 and the final design has now been agreed. The car?s first attempts at the record, which currently stands at 763mph, will take place on the Hakskeen Pan in Northern Cape Province of South Africa in 2011.
The car is powered by an EJ200 Eurofighter Typhoon jet engine and a 400kg rocket sitting below it. Bloodhound SSC produces the equivalent of 133,150bhp, the power of around 180 Formula One cars.
