:::Thrust SSC:::

The Thrust SSC is the current holder of the landspeed record with a speed of 1 228 km/h (763 mph). The Thrust SSC (Super Sonic Car) was the first land vehicle to successfully break the sound barrier. The Thrust features two turbojet engines that enable it to reach such speeds. Thrust SSC broke the record on October 15, 1997 at Black Rock Desert in Nevada.

On the picture above you can see the shock waves as it breaks the sound barrier!

Here you can see down the two jet engines.

Here it is smashing through the sound barrier!
