Thrust 2, driven by Richard Noble, broke the world land speed record on the 4th of October 1983 in the Black Rock desert in Nevada. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon turbo-jet engine, it reached a speed of 634.051 mph (1,020,406 km/h). It would hold the land speed record until September 1997, when the car's successor - Thrust SSC - eclipsed the mark. In this fascinating book, Richard Noble tells the inside story of the development of Thurst 2 - the car that would beat the world.
