supersonic car fires up Eurofighter engine

Engineers turned over the vehicle's Eurofighter jet engine in a "tie-down" test at Cornwall's Newquay airfield on Friday.
It worked flawlessly, sending a big orange flame out of the rear nozzle.
The intention is for the car to begin some "slow-speed" running - about 200mph (320km/h) - at the end of next month.
The team had been concerned that the Rolls-Royce EJ200 power unit might have some operational difficulties being in a car as opposed to sitting in a fighter aircraft.
October's slow-speed running should have paved the way for an attempt on the world land speed record in 2018, but it looks now as though the project will have to slip another year.
Bloodhound SSC will race in South Africa on a specially prepared, dried-out lake-bed, using both the jet engine and a rocket motor.
The aim is to lift the current record of 763mph (1,228km/h) to 800mph (1,288km/h), and then eventually to take it above 1,000mph (1,610km/h).
However, the conditions at Hakskeen Pan in Northern Cape are really only suitable for running in the period from July to November - and getting the car fully prepared to meet this window in 2018 is now seen as unachievable.
