Newest world’s fastest production car
 
Shelby SuperCars to debut 275 MPH Tuatara as Fastest Super car in the World | Theluxbeat.com

Avery 07-21-2011 08:27 PM

but is it actually going to be a production car? everyone always pulls out these cars but doesn't actually produce them in any sort of viable numbers

ill still stick to the the veyron for it being a success

Hondaracer 07-21-2011 09:12 PM

that car doesnt have the functionality look that the veyron does, doubtful you could fit a veyron killer in that frame/body

NashMan 07-21-2011 09:31 PM

oooooo I wounder what power plant it will have

Nightwalker 07-21-2011 09:42 PM

Looks as functional as McLaren F1. Just sayin'

Ive seen veyron killers in 5.0L mustang bodies and supra bodies, Im sure this one will do just fine.

The engine is essentially what you would find in those sleepers too, a simple 1350hp 6.8L V8.

Looks functional to me. You haven't seen a lot of cars, apparently...

tuataras are not fast land animals. That's like naming your fighter plane like "dove" or "pigeon".

:failed:

sure it's faster, but it's probably not as easy to drive, comfortable and as safe as the Veyron. It's hard to beat in that aspect.

Would have been impressive if they actually ran the car up to 275MPH instead of bragging about something they haven't done yet.

They didn't name it for that reason though.

The Tuatara lizard is said to boast the fastest evolving DNA in the world, hence SSC’s decision to name their record-breaking speedster after it.

vitaminG 07-22-2011 02:26 PM

their previous car the SSC Aero did hold the record as the worlds fastest production car beating the standard Veyron until the Veyron Super sport beat it.

Manic! 07-22-2011 07:44 PM

Have they even built the car?

k3mps 07-22-2011 10:30 PM

is this the car featured in Top Gear's news segment? with Jeremy saying "we won't stop until we reach these targets"

320icar 07-24-2011 01:39 AM

It may beat the veyron in sheer speed. But it ends there. That car does luxury, sport, comfort, blinding speed etc all at the top of it's class. And could do it all day every day.

I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'

nothing is safe at 275mph, a dip in the road in most cars at anything over 200, can be catastrophic.

Anything can look good on paper but I'd rather see actual results of the experiment.

deaner999 07-26-2011 05:56 PM

Takes a pretty good dip... Or a shitty car.
