June 12: Speedy

I came out of the Canary Wharf tube station and noticed this long low silhouette.

Popped over and saw this amazing car

The business end of the car, I guess it would be a bit toasty when its going…There are plans to have three engins, a Jet Engine, then a Hybrid Rocket and then a race car engine.

The jet engine to take it to 300mph, then the rocket kicks into take it to 1050mph while the race car engine is used as a fuel pump, lol. Of course it doesn't have the engines in there right now or the electronics, its just a shell, but makes one proud, eh? good for them…

beautiful.
