6. Bloodhound Project British
Bloodhound SSC is a jet and rocket powered car designed to go at 1,000 mph (just over 1,600 kph, sound is 1,225kph).
It has a slender body of approximately 14m length with two front wheels within the body and two rear wheels mounted externally within wheel fairings.
It weighs over 7 tonnes and the engines produce more than 135,000 horsepower - more than 6 times the power of all the Formula 1 cars on a starting grid put together!
