He held the land speed record from 1983 to 1997 driving Thrust2 on the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. His record was a mere 633mph. Now, the team led by Noble&#8217;s looking to blow past the record of ThrustSSC at 763mph and break 1000mph. If they can do it, they&#8217;ll be the second car ever to break the sound barrier.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing more I can say about the car that&#8217;s not spelled out in full (overwhelmingly so) detail on the <a title=\"Set a record over 1000mph!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodhoundssc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bloodhound SSC homepage<\/a>.
