Yup, the land-speed record-seeking freaks are at it again. Seeking to smash the current record of 763 mph, land-speeders extraordinaire Richard Noble and Andy Green unveiled a full-scale model of the Bloodhound SSC.

Designed to hit 1050 mph in 42 seconds, the Bloodhound SSC is powered by 3 different motors. The first, a jet engine, takes the car to 300 mph. The second, a rocket, takes the car to the four-digit mark. And finally the third, an 800 hp gas-burning engine serves as an auxiliary power supply and powers the rocket’s oxidizer pump.

Altogether, this bundle of powerplants generates 135,000 horsepower, which makes for one hell of a hybrid! Look for the Bloodhound SSC to start sniffing out the new land-speed record in early 2012.
