The Vampire is a turbojet-propelled car that currently holds the outright British land speed record of 300.3 mph.

Until it was crashed in 2006 during shooting of an item for the television show Top Gear, severely injuring its driver Richard Hammond, it was 30 feet long and consumed 7-10 gallons of fuel per mile. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Orpheus turbojet engine, it could accelerate from standstill to 272 mph in six seconds.
