For this was the car that invaded its way onto the throne of the fastest production car in the world, right in between the Bugatti Veyron and the Veyron SuperSport.
With a top speed of mph, it still up there with some of the fastest machinery every to grace the earth — yet it seems to have been forgotten about under what can sometimes appear to be a cluttered onslaught of frantic speed machines that come and go. The record breaking production car wasn't the first incarnation of the Ultimate Aero to rock up on the scene. Three years earlier in , SSC — an acronym of "Shelby Super Cars" — had finally established their prototype supercar, which they called the Ultimate Aero.
The car's name, while sounding fairly ridiculous, does give some information about certain elements of the car. The "Aero" part of the name for instance was in reference to how the car was designed to be as aerodynamic as possible; and when the record breaking TT version came along in , the TT indicated the use of Twin-Turbos. In the early prototypes before they'd turbocharged the car, they had used a single supercharger instead.
Utilising the engine from a Corvette C5R racing car, with its displacement increased from 6 to 6. A year later, the engine saw its capacity rise further to 6. It was in however that the final prototype was made, and by turning the supercharger's boost up, and by increasing the displacement of the engine once again to just 6cc short of 6. It was clear to SSC that in order to rise above this, they need to move away from the parasitical world of supercharging, and onto the more efficient realm of the turbo.
SSC's claims were bold. The cc Twin-Turbo V8 engine was pushing to the rear wheels alone bhp through a 6 speed manual gearbox. Not only did it have nearly horsepower more than a Veyron, it was also well over half a tonne lighter, at just 2,lbs 1,kg. According to SSC, the car had a theoretical top speed of mph. Not that anything inside or out hinted that it was a machine capable of such performance.
To my eyes at least, the exterior looks cheap and tacky, like a Halford's own-brand hypercar; and the verdict you'd draw on the interior would entirely depend on what decade your opinion was residing in. If you got into it with your early's spectacles on and judged it against the typical exotica of that period, you'd describe the interior quality as "a bit shit".
In however, it was atrociously shit! But the cabin's lack of quality was merely nothing compared to what some road testers were reporting. That's faster than the Bugatti Veyron. The Hennessey Venom GT was a controversial car when it debuted back in The car was involved in a public battle with the Bugatti Veyron to take the Guinness record for the fastest car in the world.
The car was able to pull from kph in Powering the Venom GT is a twin-turbo 7. Combined with its light 2, lb 1, kg weight and you can see why the Venom GT is one of the fastest cars ever made. And the price?
The Bugatti Veyron is a legendary car for many reasons. It delivered astonishing performance when it debuted in and shattered the world record for fastest car.
The Bugatti Veyron The Super Sport can reach speeds of up to mph, though the car is limited to mph to prevent its street tires from disintegrating at high speed. Nifty 18, Zomato Ltd. Market Watch. ET NOW. Brand Solutions. Video series featuring innovators. ET Financial Inclusion Summit.
