Watch this rocket-powered car go from 0–200 mph in nine seconds

The Bloodhound Super Sonic Car conducted its first public test run today, rocketing 210 mph (340 km/h) down the runway at Newquay Airport in southwest England. The test was a prelude for the rocket-powered car’s ultimate, record-setting goal: 1,000 mph (1,610 km/h).But that test, planned for a dry lake bed in South Africa, won’t happen until at least 2020 — though the Bloodhound team said today’s dry run gave them confidence that the car could eventually achieve the goal.
