It was the British jet car called ThrustSSC.
A bit more info if you want it:
The battle to break the sound barrier on land was won exactly 50 years after Chuck Yeager broke it in the air On October 13, 1997 when a British jet car called ThrustSSC made two supersonic passes across Nevada's Black Rock desert at 760.135 mph. and 763.168 mph.
Two days later the first ever supersonic World Land Speed Record was made official when the ThrustSSC completed two runs within an hour at an average speed of 763.035mph.
