    Bloodhound LSR Hits 628 mph (1,010 km/h) In First Testing Trip to SA

    Land Speed Record

    The Bloodhound LSR team has been doing their session of tests at the Hakskeen Pan in South Africa in their chase to beat the current land speed record for a steerable car, 763 mph (1,227 km/h).

    This was set by British fighter pilot Andy Green in 1997.

    The Bloodhound LSR team aimed to hit 500 mph for their first test session and instead they managed a 628 mph (1,010 km/h) run.

    For this speed, the Bloodhound LSR relied solely on jet power. To go even faster, the streamliner will employ a rocket. The team will use data from this first test to calculate the drag experienced by the car on each run, which is critical in determining the size of the rocket needed to surpass the record.

    “The stability and confidence the car gives me as a driver is testament to the years of world class engineering that has been invested in her by team members past and present,” Green said. “With all the data generated by reaching 628 mph, we’re in a great position to focus on setting a new world land speed record in the next year or so.”

    If all goes to plan, the team will aim for the record and possibly the 1,000-mph-mark in about 12-18 months.

    • The brand new Haval H6 GT was spotted in Bedfordview JHB by @engineeringkulture 

The H6 is proving to be a big success in SA and this sportier-looking offering is likely to sell very well in Mzansi.

What do you think of it?

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?
