This is What a 1,000-MPH Car Looks Like

This is the Bloodhound SSC. When finished, it will be powered by a jet engine bolted to a rocket. Together they will produce 47,500 pounds of thrust. And the retired Royal Air Force pilot who plans to strap himself into it hopes to hit 1,000 mph.

The team behind the, er, car hasn’t tested it. In fact, they’ve only started building it. But they’re sure it’ll work. Well, pretty sure.
