Supersonic car to attempt speed world record 
Supersonic car 'Bloodhound SSC' has received new funding for its first attempt to break the land speed world record of 1227.985 kmph in October 2017. Powered by a Rolls-Royce EJ200 jet engine, a Jaguar V8 engine and Nammo hybrid rockets, the 13.4-metre long car delivers 135,000 brake horsepower. The earlier record was set 20 years ago by Thrust SSC.
