World's Fastest Production Car SSC Ultimate Aero

Created by BlackEntrepreneurProfiles.com

Guinness World Records verified on October 9, 2007 that Shelby SuperCars’ (SSC) Ultimate Aero is officially the “Fastest Production Car” in the world. This is the first time the production speed record title has been held by a U.S auto manufacturer since the Ford GT40 claimed the record in 1967.

The SSC Ultimate Aero's had an official speed of 412.28 kph (256.19 mph), breaking the current official record held by the Koenigsegg CCR at 388 kph by 24.28 kph (15.09 mph) and the Bugatti Veyron's unofficial speed of 408.47 kph by 5.84 kph (3.63 mph).

With 1183 bhp and 1094 ft-lbs of torque, the Ultimate Aero produces more emissions-legal horsepower than any other production automobile in the world (another Guinness World RecordTM for which SSC is currently applying).

Despite being designed to run at redline for extended periods of time, the Ultimate Aero remains remarkably drivable. The proprietary twin turbo V8 power plant retains excellent idle characteristics, and thanks to a drag coefficient of just .357, Langley Full Scale Wind Tunnel testing calculates the vehicle to be aerodynamically stable to speeds up to 273 mph.

The Ultimate Aero features all the amenities found in a luxury sedan, the supple leather/suede interior is highlighted by custom Recaro seats, a 10 speaker premium system, DVD/navigation/backup camera, and a cab-controlled lift that raises the front an extra four inches to navigate road hazards. The base price for the Aero starts in the $600 000.00 area.
