According to reports, Bloodhound LSR, formerly Bloodhound SSC, is a British land vehicle intended to travel at supersonic speeds. Its goal is to match or exceed 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 km/h), achieving a new world land speed record. The pencil-shaped car, powered by a jet engine and a rocket engine, is designed to reach 1,050 miles per hour (1,690 km/h).
The Bloodhound Project was started back in 2008 with aims to break land record speeds.
The team recently reached a record speed of 500mph (about 790km/h) in it's sixth run in the desert. The current record is held by Andy Green.
