What has over 3,500 components, plus a Rolls-Royce EJ200 jet engine that’s normally found in the Eurofighter Typhoon, along with a cluster of Nammo hybrid rockets? And a 550bhp Supercharged Jaguar V8 for pumping the oxidizer into the rocket? The Bloodhound supersonic project car.

These engines are fitted a titanium-skinned upper chassis with a carbon-fiber monocoque and canopy with 50mm thick windscreen, plus 22,500 aerospace-grade rivets, each hand-fixed. Driver Andy Green and assembly instructions are included.

The Bloodhound is on track to challenge the Land Speed Record later this year in the Kalahari Desert, South Africa, and ultimately hit 1000mph in 2016. While it might become the world’s fastest landspeed car, going fast is actually not its main role. The focal point of this project is to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers by showcasing these subjects in the most exciting way possible. Over 5,700 UK primary and secondary schools, and thousands more around the world, use Bloodhound materials in class and science clubs.
