World's fastest diesel car
JCB has broken the world land speed record for a diesel, for the second time in a week. Previously, the record had stood at about 235 mph, set back in 1973. Earlier this week, JCB Dieselmax set a new record of 333 mph, and has now topped this to reach an average of 350 mph. And they’ve not even used sixth gear yet, so this car (powered by two JCB diesel engines that together produce 750 bhp) looks set to go faster still!
