but it's a fuel powered car... it needs to be electric to be of interest in 2018/19

The electric land speed record is about 340mph. ICE cars were faster in the 1930s.

It has a jet engine and a rocket engine; I think "car" is bit of a loose definition in this case!

The only "normal" ICE it has is the fuel pump or something if I remember correctly!

I believe it uses a Jag v8 from an XF-R as the fuel pump, which is ....substantial.
