In the year 2015 the standing land speed record turned 18 years old, which is also the longest standing land speed record in history. The Thrust SSC recorded an average speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) over two runs in opposite directions within one hour, becoming the first land vehicle to break the so...

description In the year 2015 the standing land speed record turned 18 years old, which is also the longest standing land speed record in history. The Thrust SSC recorded an average speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) over two runs in opposite directions within one hour, becoming the first land vehicle to break the sound barrier. Don't tell that to Richard Noble and Andy Green, who between them hold the last three land speed records and are currently managing project Bloodhound SSC, with the not-so-modest goal of achieving a land speed in excess of 1,609 km/h (1,000 mph), breaking the old record by at least 33%. Getting the vehicle up to 1,609 km/h (1,000 mph) is one thing; stopping the 17,000-lb. vehicle is quite another.
