Bloodhound: 1,000mph supersonic car to be unveiled in London

Vehicle with the power of 180 F1 cars is put on display in Canary Wharf ahead of plan to break current world land-speed record of 763mph

For the last two years a supersonic car has taken shape in an ordinary-looking unit on an industrial estate near Bristol, a joinery on one side, a plumbers' merchant on the other.

On Friday, the car, Bloodhound SSC, will be unveiled for the first time in the much more glitzy surroundings of Canary Wharf in east London.
