Wing Commander Andy Green, a retired British Royal Air Force fighter pilot, just set a new world land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in the JCB Hydromax vehicle. On two different runs on Aug. 11, the car went 400.623 mph (644.740 kph) and then 412.135 mph (663.267 kph), which averages out to 406.320 mph (653.909 kph).
That’s the fastest that any car with a hydrogen internal combustion engine has traveled. “It was an amazing experience,” Green told Space.com on Aug. 12 about his record-breaking drives.
