And with the recent news that one of the most interesting land-speed engineering projects around is experiencing funding issues (just a year after it finally ran a test and hit 210mph), we’re resurfacing […]

It’s finally happened. Nine years after the Bloodhound project was first announced in London, the supersonic car has completed its first test runs. At a closed-off airstrip near Newquay airport, Cornwall, the monstrous vehicle roared across the tarmac at close to 200 MPH. That figure is a long way off the team’s ultimate goal of […]
