Although when we are all driving electric cars To Tesco then one of these two may be considered part of the lineage, in terms of the development of technology.
The 1,000MPH car - Bloodhound!

At the present rate there won't be any Tesco either.
Updated article about the SSC, is it just me or does it read as one big Jaguar advert...

Ultimately Jaguar are saving the day by providing several engines to be used as pumps and providing support vehicles. I say good on them. Its going to cost them a fair bit so they get publicity in return. That article would be all fair a above board if it wasn't for the fact it's on the BBC who aren't meant to advertise. Hmm.
Its a bit of a shame to loose the F1 Cosworth engine but its reliability was something I was sceptical of from the start.

Interesting fact. If this car had a horn on its steering wheel and was travelling at near its top speed, it would hit you before you heard it.

I want to know what they have pissed away all the money on. I'm now getting rather suspicious there is money laundering going on. They had the car more or less finished 4 years ago. All they have done since is one 200mph run. Something fishy is going on.
I agree Greenlantern101. The project seems to have been an on going shambles for a good few years now.
When I first started working on the JLR apprentice programme back in 2015, Richard Noble was one of the guest speakers at the Apprentice induction, he said then that the track in South Africa had been cleared and was ready to go.
They've gone through several sponsors, companies have come and gone and not much else has happened.
Very odd.
