Dragonfly PR Client Is In The Fast Lane!

Our client Newburgh Engineering, a high-tech precision engineering company that manufactures bespoke engineering components and assemblies, has been chosen to provide precision parts for the BLOODHOUND SSC supercar.

The BLOODHOUND SSC aims to break the world land speed record by achieving the supersonic speed of 1,000mph, which will require contribution from the world’s leading engineering and technology companies.

A Dragonfly PR spokesperson said: “This was a really exciting project to be involved with. Already we have had huge regional, national and trade press interest in the story and it is great to be working with such an innovative and forward thinking client. When it is finished, we are hoping to get at least the chance to at least sit in the supercar if nothing else!”

The design and construction of the supercar are expected to take three years, with the record attempt taking place in 2011. The 12.8 metre BLOODHOUND SSC will be powered by both jet and rocket propulsion that should help it to smash the current world speed record of 763mph set by Brit Andy Green in 1997. This time around, project leader Richard Noble OBE and driver Andy Green OBE aim to blast through the 1,000mph barrier.
