British driver and former Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green has set another speed record, reaching 406 mph (654 km/h) in a hydrogen-powered vehicle at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats.
The 64-year-old, who became the first person to break the sound barrier on land in a car, achieved the latest record with a vehicle powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines producing a combined 1,600 brake horsepower.
The record was calculated from the average speed of two runs, making Green’s achievement more than twice as fast as the previous official record for a hydrogen combustion vehicle. That mark, set in 2004, stood at 185.5 mph (298 km/h).
Many records have been broken over the years on the ground, with vehicles reaching top speeds well over 250 mph (402 km/h).
