1,000mph Bloodhound Supersonic Car - World Debut

The BLOODHOUND Supersonic Car will make its World Debut at East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf, London on Thursday 24th September, before going on public display.

The 135,000 thrust hp land speed racer will be presented in record attempt configuration but without the carbon fibre bodywork on one side, in order to show the car's inner workings. Visitors will see that 98% of the car is here including the Rolls-Royce EJ200 jet engine in place as it will be when BLOODHOUND SSC targets 800mph in 2016, as well as the supercharged Jaguar V8 engine used to pump oxidiser into the rocket.

The intricate carbon fibre, steel and alloy chassis will be exposed along with the complex internal skeleton of BLOODHOUND's huge tail-fin. The public will also be able to view the completed cockpit - Andy Green's supersonic office - and see the first pictures from the car's on-board cameras. Visitors can enjoy the Castrol EDGE and Jaguar BLOODHOUND Driving Simulator and Castrol EDGE Virtual Reality Experience. Team support vehicles, including the custom-built Jaguar Rapid Response Vehicles, will also be on show, completing a stunning exhibition of cutting-edge engineering. Members of the BLOODHOUND Team will be on hand throughout the Expo to meet the public and provide the inside track on this Engineering Adventure.
