In the video, Shelby pulls out onto the road before unleashing the full brunt of the Tuatara's twin-turbo powerplant. The crosswinds are all that prevented us from realizing the car’s limit.". If SSC can find a long enough stretch of road, a world record announcement could be forthcoming. The world speed record gets lifted high, SSC boss Jerod Shelby and driver Oliver Webb celebrate their achievement, The official record is 316 mph, but the SSC Tuatara hit 331 mph on its way to that record, The Tuatara is powered by a twin-turbo 5.9-L V8 that puts out up to 1,750 hp when running E85 gas, The Tuatara engine is supplied by Nelson Racing Engines, Behind the wheel of the world's fastest car, SSC used a closed stretch of Nevada State Route 160 for its run, SSC says it did everything by the book, including having two certified witnesses on hand for verification, The SSC Tuatara brings the speed record back to America, The SSC Tuatara follows in the footsteps of the SSC Ultimate Aero, which set a 256-mph record in 2007, Shelby and Webb enjoy a victorious moment, The view of the SSC Tuatara you're most likely to see as it leaves you in its dust. The Tuatara was first introduced way back in 2011, so long ago that SSC was still Shelby Supercars and the Tuatara's projected 280-mph (450.6-km/h) top speed seemed like more than enough to lock down the record for years to come. It was intended to go into production as a successor to the SSC Ultimate Aero, which held the Guinness World Record for Fastest Production Car in the World from 2007 to 2010. "As I approached 331 mph, the Tuatara climbed almost 20 mph within the last five seconds. "We came pretty close to meeting the theoretical numbers, which is astonishing to do in a real world setting on a public road," SSC founder and chief Jerod Shelby says. 532.7 Km/h: SSC Tuatara is Officially World’s Fastest Production Car October 19, 2020 - by UsmanAnsari - Leave a Comment Shelby SuperCars (SSC) has broken the top speed record for a production car with the Tuatara, after achieving a staggering 532.7 km/h and a two-way average of 508.7 km/h on a closed road in Nevada. News reports of a new SSC 300+ world record surfaced last week, following the October 10 event, but fell short of confirming a speed, let alone whether it was a single run or the proper two-way pass needed for an official world record. SSC describes following world record regulations down to the smallest footnote, having officials on hand to verify everything, including reviewing the Dewetron GPS measurements that tracked the speed runs using an average of 15 satellites. Beneath the carbon fiber body is a carbon fiber monocoque chassis with exposed sections across the car. This record should stand for quite some time, but not if American automaker Shelby Super Cars (SSC) has anything to say about it. With a 5.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 1,750 horsepower on E85, the Tuatara looks well on its way to claiming the world record. After a first run of 301.07 mph (484.53 km/h), Webb dialed it up and absolutely torched the return run to the tune of 331.15 mph (532.93 km/h) – and he thinks he could have gone even faster. Wyrick's eyes quickly enlarge, and his mouth drops wide open, leaving him nearly speechless. The car wasn’t running out of steam yet. Shelby then points out that the car "wasn't even close to redline.". Update: SSC wouldn’t confirm the record-breaking attempt, but told us they have made “no secret of its plans to set a world top-speed record with the 1,750 hp Tuatara. Shelby Super Cars' all-American hypercar was first unveiled as a concept back in 2011. 2020 SSC Tuatara: The First Production Example of the 1,750-HP Supercar Is Here This $1.6 million, 300+mph beast is the first of 100 total units promised.
