The supercar "Bloodhound" wants to break the speed record

The Bloodhound is both a racing car and a spaceship. A team from the UK hopes it will eventually become the fastest car in the world.

He reached a speed of 500 km / h on Wednesday in a series of tests in South Africa. But there is still at least a year left to break the record speed of 1,228 km / h.

And the straight-lined corridor built in the UK will eventually reach 1,000 miles an hour.

The BBC met with RAF Bloodhound driver Andy Green to find out how the car works and what it looks like to drive.
