Click HereMeet the people behind the Aussie Invader 5R project taking on the challenge to make Rosco the fastest man on earth.
Click HereThe Aussie Invader Team led by Rosco McGlashan are not satisfied with holding the Australian Land Speed Record, they are going after the World Land Speed Record.
Rosco has enlisted a team of skilled professionals, who volunteer their time freely, to build a car in Australia capable of breaking the sound barrier, the current World Land Speed Record and then moving on to the ultimate goal... 1,000 mph (1,600+ km/h).
The car is Aussie Invader 5R, powered by a bi-propellant rocket motor producing around 62,000 lbs of thrust (about 200,000 horsepower). The car weighs 9.2 tonnes fully fuelled and will accelerate from 0 – 1,000 mph in just over 20 seconds!

We qualified for a Research & Development grant via the Australian Tax Office. Through no fault of our own the grant has been withdrawn and we have been asked to repay $200,000 (that includes interest!). The ATO has now called in the liquidators and we are raising funds to fight it. WE NEED YOUR HELP.
