Nice use for a V12 race engine. I wonder if we will see a for sale ad, one careful owner, only used once etc etc etc........... on the bay when done!

The engine actually produces around 800bhp, and is also used in the super series Formula.

If th Bloodhound does achiev its goal, it'll also beat the low altitude air speed record.
