The Bloodhound Super Sonic Car sounds like something from a comic book, just by the name. By the speed, too. It can go from 0-200 miles power in nine seconds. Its goal is to hit 1,000 miles per hour! Andy Green is an English Air Force commander, and the lucky guy who tested it for the very first time. He holds the record for breaking the sound barrier on land, that’s how fast the car is! Its massive engine is rocket-powered and uses a flame and fuel to propel itself. The car weighs five tons, which makes its speed record all the more impressive. “It was a real hard workout for the brakes. Probably up to somewhere close to a thousand degrees, the front brakes were smoking furiously after the second run. They just started to flicker with flame — very sort of Formula One, but in a proper high-speed car. And that was exactly what we were hoping for,” said Andy Green, the test driver.
