by Jeff DonlanThe Bloodhound SSC might be the first car to go 1,000 mph. It’s a jet- and rocket-powered supersonic car with a test run this October in England. The vehicle is powered by a series of rocket engines and a military-grade jet engine. The Bloodhound SSC was due to start testing in 2015, but faced repeated delays because of design changes.The current land speed record is 763 mph, set in a Thrust supersonic car. It was driven by British Air Force pilot Andy Green in 1997. He’ll also be the first driver of the Bloodhound SSC.
