World’s fastest car to make ‘slow’ debut in the UK
We’ve waited years to see the Bloodhound supersonic car in action, and at last the promised day is starting to draw near. The team has revealed that the monster motor will make its world debut at the Newquay Aerohub in Cornwall this November — however, it’ll be limited to just 200mph. That’s still ferociously fast, but the jet and rocket-powered car is ultimately designed to break the world land speed record at 1,000mph. Construction of the historic vehicle is still underway, and the tests in Southern England will be conducted before the airbrakes and winglets have been fitted. The current plan is to begin high-speed testing in South Africa next summer, during optimal weather conditions. The results will determine when driver Andy Green finally attempts to power into the history books.
