Jetblack, the turbojet propelled 'car' under development by Kiwi businessman Richard Nowland.
Young Kiwi businessman Richard Nowland has set his sights on breaking the world land speed record in Jetblack, the turbojet propelled "car" he has had under development since 2008.
Nowland is keeping the latest details of his project firmly under wraps until a "show car" is unveiled at the Cloud
on Queens Wharf on October 17.
In front of an invited audience, which will include some of the project's key backers, Nowland will reveal the specific speed targets he wants to achieve and the names of key engineering designers and team members who are working with him to achieve his dream.
Visitors down at the waterfront for the Rugby World Cup will also be able to take a good look at Jetblack.
In the past Nowland has expressed a desire to knock off the Australasian land speed records - but as the project has progressed his ambition has grown.
