Richard Noble is at it again and now he’s planning on breaking 1000mph in a car!. And it looks brilliant The hell with ya Button and Hamilton! That is real speed. And what a car! 800bhp (that’s Bugatti Veyron territory) operates as the starter motor, fuel pump and APU. That starts an afterburning EJ200 reheated turbofan (just like in a Typhoon fighter) and then they light the rocket!.
An 800+hp starter motor? Brilliant!
