However, this is no ordinary hybrid. Bloodhound as it is known, has a V12 engine, a Eurofighter EJ2000 jet engine and a 400kg hybrid rocket engine to give it the power required to reach the 1000 mph. Travelling at such speeds on land the major problem with the car is the stability and extensive computer simulation work has been completed to test the design.
With the design work completed the car assembly will take place in Bristol. If everything runs smoothly it is estimated that a record attempt could take place as early as 2011 on the Hakskeen Pan, Northern Cape Province, South Africa.
