Supersonic Car Bloodhound SSC Put Up For & Nbsp; Sale

Recently there was information about the closure of the program to create a supersonic car Bloodhound SSC due to financial problems, and now one of the founders of the Bloodhound Program Ltd. Andy Green said that the firm's property will be sold in the interests of creditors, including the unique car itself. They ask for him £ 250,000 (RUB 21.1 million).

What can be done with the car?

The new owner has two options - to put it in the garage as an exhibit or try to set a record on his own, but this requires much more funds than the cost of the Bloodhound SSC itself.

How much money does it take to set a record?

• According to the program participants, it is required 5 million pounds (421.5 million rubles)to deliver the car to the dried-up Haxkin Peng Salt Lake in South Africa and test it at speed 965 km / h.

• In order to break the sound barrier and break the current record (1228 km / hinstalled in 1997 by Thrust SSC) another 15 million pounds (1.26 billion rubles).

• To achieve maximum speed Bloodhound SSC (1609 km / h) you need to spend extra £ 25 million (RUB 2.1 billion).

The Bloodhound SSC was invented in 2008, built three years ago, spent a lot of money on the project, and now sells for the price of a Lamborghini Aventador S … And which would you choose: potentially the fastest car on the planet or an ordinary Lambo?
