491 MPH In The Bloodhound LSR
The Bloodhound LSR team is out to break the all-time land speed record set by the ThrustSSC in 1997. The ThrustSSC hit 760 MPH, and the Bloodhound LSR wants to his 1,000 MPH — and they're halfway there. In this run, Andy Green, who also drove the ThrustSSC on its record run, hit 491 MPH in the desert Kalahari Desert in South Africa.
