Construction work formally begins this week on what is expected to be the world's fastest car.
Called Bloodhound, the vehicle has been designed to reach 1,000mph (1,600km/h).
It will attempt to set the mark as it breaks the land speed record on a dried out lake bed in South Africa's Northern Cape late next year.
Bloodhound has been in design for the past three years. It will be powered by a Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine bolted above a hybrid rocket.
The power unit combination should deliver a thrust in the order of 2,000 kilonewtons (47,000lb).
