V12 engine, Ti wheels, CF body - Bloodhound. 1000 MPH target for the new land speed record. Mach 1.4
The engine will be used to pump hydrogen peroxide for the hybrid ROCKET for 25000 LBS of thrust, once the sound barier is reached, the 20000 LBS thrust of the JET engine will come on.
To qualify as a car for the FIA, this thing needs to be supported by four wheels. Wheels that will be spinning 10,000 RPM and generate 50,000 Gs. Titanium wheels, to be exact.
Estimated 9 miles of test track will be covered in the test.

Love the mileage : 'pump high test peroxide fuel through the rocket at the rate of one ton every 22 seconds."
