Aussie Invader - World Land Speed Record Challenger Aussie Invader 5R - Rosco McGlashan Presents Australia’s World Land Speed Record Contender

Rosco McGlashan has enlisted a skilled team to build a car for Australia capable of breaking the sound barrier and moving on to 1,000 mph. The car is Aussie Invader 5R, powered by a liquid bi-propellant rocket engine producing around 62,000 lbs of thrust (about 200,000 horsepower). The car weighs about 9 tonnes fully fuelled and will be capable of accelerating from zero to supersonic in 20 seconds!
