SSC Ultimate Aero TT Review

The United States has been
bruited about as the industry
leader whether in electronic
gadgets, farm implements,
with planes, over trucks and
probably even with super cars. Not to be outdone by its
European and Asian
counterparts, the SSC Shelby
Super Car, is one that
manufactures exotic super cars
and this company is based in Washington. Jerod Shelby, the company
owner, created the SSC Aero
and another version to join the
elite few such as Lamborghini,
Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti to
name some. The American version of the SSC Ultimate
Aero TT delivers higher
performance levels than many
of European models to
compete with the fastest, most
powerful and expensive production cars in the world. SSC Aero is outfitted with a
special door that closes and
opens like a scissors with
enough leg room to
accommodate 2 passengers.
The car's powertrain comes with an engine that boasts of
1,183 bhp (880kW) at 6875 rpm
and 1,094 lbs.ft (6,150rpm) of
torque from a proprietary
twin-turbo 6.2 liter V8 power
plant. The Ultimate Aero TT produces
more emissions-legal
horsepower compared to any
production car in the world. It
is lightweight and
approximately weighs only 2,750 pounds due to the
extensive use of carbon fiber
and titanium all over. Testing
the car at a wind tunnel at
NASA's Langley, Virginia
facility shows a coefficient drag of only.357 and is capable of
speeds of up to 273mph.
