SSC Ultimate Aero TT

American?

Mid-engine?

Shelby Super Cars Corporation?

0-60mph in 2.78 seconds.

And on September 17, 2007 achieved a top speed of 256 mph. Verified by the good people at Guinness.

Officially the fastest production car in the world.



Base model starts at $239,000 with the fast puppy being $650,000.

Some quick specs:



Base model
6.26L (382 Cubic Inch) Supercharged motor @ 8psi
Screaming in at 787hp @ 6600rpm and 736 ft lbs torque @ 5800rpm
Requires 92 octane

The Ultimate Aero TT
6.35L (387.2 Cubic inch) Turbocharged motor @ 14psi
WITH 1183hp@ 6950 rpm and 1094ft lbs torque @ 6200rpm
Requires 104 Octane for full performance, adjustable boost pressure

The base model will still achieve a top speed of 236mph.





NASA and wind tunnel tests show that the Ultimate Aero TT can achieve a top speed of 273mph under ideal conditions.

Either way, at the end of the day, I have a strange feeling that it uses Honda Civic Si(EP3) headlights... hmmm...
