The UK team aiming to smash its own land speed record by driving a car beyond 1,000mph (1,610km/h) has settled on a final design for the vehicle.

The car, known as Bloodhound, will be built in Bristol and the team expects to start running it in South Africa in 2011.

This video shows the specifications for the car as well as how it might match up against a Eurofighter Typhoon, with which it shares the same type of jet engine.
