Rolls-Royce is sponsoring the Bloodhound project. I doubt you car can reach speeds of 1,000 miles per hour. However, the Bloodhound project aims to make that a reality. The centerpiece of the plan is a supersonic car that is currently under construction. Incredibly, it is estimated to be able to reach speeds up to 1,000 miles per hour. According to ABC News, instead of tires, "It runs on 200-pound circles of aerospace aluminum that can absorb 50,000 times the force of gravity". The British project is certainly gaining attention. It was recently announced that luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce is stepping in to land a hand, providing not only technical but financial support. The company's major contribution will be to manage their EJ200 jet engine designed and built for the Eurofighter-Typhoon aircraft. This compact and extremely powerful jet engine will help the car reach approximately 350 miles per hour before triggering a rocket motor to reach supersonic speeds. What do you think? How do you like the Bloodhound concept?
