Bloodhound SSC, is a car created by the international education initiative 'BLOODHOUND Project'to attempt a 1,000 mph world land speed record. The team aim to break the land speed record with the pencil-shaped car, powered by a jet engine and a rocket designed to reach 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 km/h) together with a Cosworth CA2010 Formula 1 V8 petrol engine auxiliary power unit. It is being developed and built with the intention of breaking the land speed record by 33%, the largest ever margin. BLOODHOUND SSC will be tested on the Hakskeen Pan, Northern Cape, South Africa where a track 20 km long, 500 m wide has been cleared by a local workforce, employed by the Northern Cape Government. The construction should be complete by the end of 2012 and the record attempts should take place in 2013 and 2014
