This project, due to have a crack at the land speed record in September, is nothing short of mind bending. When up to speed, it'll do a flying mile in 3.6sec!!!

I saw this a couple months back. Very interesting to see what speeds it actually achieves.

...and whether or not it becomes a literal flying mile

This car has a V8 fuel pump

You can pay £15 and put your name on the tail fin.

We put our kids names on, get a certificate too which they loved.

Watch and be amazed.

I thought this was a joke until I watched the video WM posted!!!

Holy cow!

This is so dangerous.

Loved the video where they forged the wheels for testing like they were made from putty.

3,600 tonnes!

Nah no joke, I just think it sounds funny when you say V8 fuel pump. It's an amazing piece of engineering, I don't think danger is in any bodies vocabulary who is involved in this project, Andy Green has balls of steel to drive this.

Can't wait until it happens.

Yes they are smart guys who I'm sure have calculated the risks but a single twitch at that speed! It'll be lift, roll, find the pieces. Scary stuff.
