Thrust 2

Jet-propelled car in which British driver Richard Noble set a world land speed record in the Black Rock desert of Nevada, USA, on 4 October 1983. The record speed was 1,019.4 kph/633.468 mph. In 1996 Noble attempted to break the sound barrier in Thrust SCC. Thrust SCC has two Rolls-Royce Spey engines (the same kind used in RAF Phantom jets) that provide 110,000 horsepower; it weighs 6,350 kg/13,970 lb, and is 16.5 m/54 ft in length. It was driven by RAF fighter pilot Andy Green to break the sound barrier in September 1997, setting a speed of 1,149.272 kph/714.144 mph.
