Not the fastest car in the world is Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche, and Saleen is not  - but goes by the simple name Thrust SuperSonic Car or "supersonic car Thrust". This Andy Green in 1997 as the first man to break a land vehicle with the sound barrier and set up with 1228 km / h being the current world record.

That did not leave a group for the Engineer Mark Chapman rest. With his Bloodhound Super Sonic Car to the British set a new record and break it the 1,000 miles per hour mark, equivalent to about 1600 km/h. On the air show in Farnborough, the body of the 13-meter-long "blood dog" is now introduced to the public.

Bloodhound is powered by a jet engine for the Eurofighter and an additional rocket engine, which together - Warning! - make PS 135 000. Chapman and his boys hope to make the end of 2011 and early 2012, the first test drives you to, and then on the Hakskeen Pan, a dry lake in South Africa to launch their world record attempt. Driver should be by the way, the only person in the world, the supersonic experience at ground level - Andy Green!
