Britain's land speed record hopeful Bloodhound SSC caused a bit of a stir at the weekend, when it was parked on the Strand in London on Sunday.
The 1000mph car is perhaps not as suited to city as, say, a Toyota Aygo (it has a turning circle of 120 metres and has no reverse gear), but we doubt the Toyota would be capable of reaching 1050mph or shooting a 45-foot flame from its rocket exhaust.
Actually, to be strictly honest the Bloodhound SSC in London at the weekend was actually a 1:1 scale model, and which has now gone on show in Coutts Bank, where it will remain until 30th October.
So it might be a bit of a publicity stunt, but it does at least make for some interesting pictures.
The car is officially at Coutts to showcase "cutting edge research and development and the best of British engineering", although given the average size of a Coutts client's account, it's probably fair to say Bloodhound is probably hoping that a few account holders will bung a few quid in the project's direction...
