The new supersonic car passed its first public test by reaching speeds up to 340 km/h.

The Bloodhound Project named the car as Bloodhound Supersonic Car (SSC) and described it as the ‘world’s most advanced straight-line racing car’. The test was conducted at the runway of Newquay Airport in southwest England where the car zoomed past its estimated target of achieving 322 km/h and was able to go up to 340 km/h instead.

The Bloodhound SSC completed two laps along the 2.7km runway. The car was powered by a Rolls-Royce EJ200 jet engine, an engine that is usually found in Eurofighter Typhoon jet. Such an engine is capable of a collective output equal to 360 family cars. However, the supersonic car would soon be outfitted with a rocket motor that can reach top speeds of 1,610 km/h. But, it would still take two to three years to accomplish that task, reported BBC.

The car went through two test runs and was able to accelerate to 340 km/h in just nine seconds. The driver of the car, current World Land Speed Record holder, RAF Wing Commander Andy Green exclaimed, “We did two back-to-back 200 mph runs in a five-ton car. It felt like about eight seconds, which was what we were expecting.

“It was a real hard work out for the brakes. Probably up to somewhere close to a thousand degrees, the front brakes were smoking furiously after the second run. They just started to flicker with flame — very sort of Formula One, but in a proper high-speed car. And that was exactly what we were hoping for.”

Furthermore, the team believes that they will ultimately hit 1,050 km/h. It won’t break the world record of 1,227 km/h but would help engineers to know more about the Bloodhound SSC, reported The Verge.
