The world's first 1000mph car
Land speed record holder Andy Green talks to AUTOSPORT about his forthcoming 1000mph attempt, and why it will probably be the last
Wing commander Andy Green holds the world land speed record and is the only person on earth to have broken the sound barrier on land.
In 1997, he took Thrust SSC to over 763mph. Then in 2006 he set a record for a diesel-powered car, taking the JCB Dieselmax to 350mph. Now, alongside former record-holder Richard Noble, he's working on a new project - Bloodhound SSC - which is aiming to break the 1000mph barrier.
