Faster than a bullet
Supersonic and beyond: A model of a vehicle called the Bloodhound Super Sonic car. A British team launched an attempt on Thursday to set a new land speed record with a rocket-powered car that could reach 1,600 kmph. The Bloodhound Project is led by Richard Noble, who oversaw the team which set the existing record of 1,200 kmph in the Black Rock desert of Nevada 11 years ago.
