1,000 mph Car 'On Track' to Break Record

• livescience.com

The British say they're set to break the world land speed record in 2012 with a car that can reach 1,000 mph (1,609 kph), according to BBC News.  

Construction on the Bloodhound vehicle's rear should begin in January.

"We've got companies all over the world wanting to sponsor the car," project director Richard Noble of Bloodhound SSC Engineering Adventure told BBC News. "We've actually got more people who want to financially back this thing than we've got space for them."
