... see attached a picture of the Bloodhound SSC (1:1 model of the front end). The vehicle will be powered by a jet engine and a rocket. It shall attempt to reach 1,600km/h. It is under construction by the same British consortium which built the Thrust SSC, the first car to break the sound barrier at 1,228km/h in 1997 and current land speed record holder...
Note that the Thrust SSC had 110,000 HP, acceleration 0-1,000km/h in 16s, and the fuel consumption was at 5,500L/100km (0.04 mpg). Haha! The vehicle is on permanent display at Coventry Transport Museum. ... another reason to go to Coventry.
