The debut of the car will take place in June 2017. However, it will be tested at speeds up to 354 km / h. Not only does the pilot have to get used to the car, but photographers and cameramen who have successfully shot the car.
Bloodhound SSC is made of 3,500 unique parts. In fact, this 13.5-foot supersonic «car». It is powered by Rolls-Royce EJ200 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter on and 5-liter V8 engine from a sports car Jaguar F-Type R.
