Richard Noble's latest project to push the Land Speed Record to 1000 mph. With an estimated budget of £10 million it is hoped that the car will be running by late 2011. The Bloodhound has three independant methods of propulsion. Firstly a racing V12 piston engine developing 800bhp from which in addition to motive power the hydraulics and auxiliaries will function. Secondly a 18" Hybrid Rocket Motor to give instant thrust and thirdly a single EJ 200 jet engine, as fitted to the Typhoon, Eurofighter aeroplane. It is project that the package will deliver 47,000 lbs of Thrust in a vehicle weighing 6500 kg with an optimum speed of 1050mph.
As with the current LSR holder, Thrust 2 the car will be driven by Andy Green

Trying for a peach color, more on the orange side. These look so cute and it's so nice to be recreating these in a range of colors.
