All-American Hypercar Maker SSC Brings Back The Tuatara

Rather than bringing back to life, it is about the realization of the concept car originally presented in 2011 and that would collect the witness left by the Ultimate Aero, which ended its production in 2013. The design has been slightly modified compared to the model we have dreamed for seven long years, but the technical figures seem to aim really high, thanks to a stratospheric power and a featherweight.

1.247kg of weight and a 5.9 twin-turbo V8 capable of delivering 1350hp (with 91 octane), or 1750hp (with E85): these are the main numbers of a car that has as a mission to won back the record of top speed obtained by the Ultimate Aero in 2007. We obviously have a chassis entirely made of carbon fiber and a 7-speed computerized gearbox, which will have the difficult task of managing the 1412Nm of torque. Having ascertained that you will not kill your tires at the first start, the 0-200 kph will be burned in just 16 seconds, while the declared maximum speed would be around 422 kph, as already anticipated when the first concept was unveiled in 2011. All that remains is to wait and see if the Chiron and the Regera will have a new rival in town.
