Thrust SSC. This is all an approximation since the thrust of a Spey varies with speed but 110,000 Hp at top speed is a good approximation.

The Bloodhound SSC is the car expected to break the record of the Thrust SSC; a top-speed run of 1000 mph is scheduled for the end of 2019. In 1997, the Thrust SSC team landed a world record when its car set the world land-speed record of 763 mph. Super Car ... of whom one third are "rolls-roysovsky" engine power 36 000 horsepower According to engineers, gas turbine should have been over 40 seconds to disperse the car before 1360 kilometers per hour.

1 HP = 550 ft-lb/sec. Thrust SSC cost £2.48m and took five years to design, build and run.

It’s a difference that has been high on the agenda for the Bloodhound management team and causes some consternation with Ron Ayers, chief aerodynamicist of both Bloodhound and Thrust SSC. The THRUST SSC has a top speed of 1228km per hour and it weighs 6.4 tonnes. Driven by Andy Green, the Thrust SSC was powered by two Rolls-Royce turbofan engines sourced from the F-4 Phantom II jet fighter and had a total output of 110,000 horsepower. “They are very different cars is appearance, philosophy and objectives,” he says. Horsepower = Thrust X Velocity = 50,000 X Velocity. Ian Warhurst and the Bloodhound LSR team would like to thank supporters and sponsors for their overwhelming support and goodwill messages. Ian and the Bloodhound LSR team are delighted to announce that all of the fin names will be honoured when the car runs on the desert. The Thrust SSC was the fastest car in 1997, breaking the sound barrier at 763 mph. Traveling at 550 ft/sec it has 50,000 Hp. Traveling at 1100 ft/sec it has 100,000 Hp. This jump in speed of nearly 30% would be the biggest jump in record speed by any new record holder.
