Bloodhound goes faster still at 491mph | BBC

Andy Green has pushed the Bloodhound to new limits and reached 491mph in the Hakskeen Pan of South Africa. The Bloodhound, a racecar that resembles more like a rocket than a drivable land vehicle, has been pushing to break the land-speed record of 763mph. Currently the vehicle is running on a Eurofighter EJ200 jet engine, but it will upgrade to a rocket within the next year. The recent track run measured the slowdown and gathered more data to make decisions regarding safe runs and crosswinds.
