533 km / h - SSC Tuatara is (not) the fastest production car in the world!

There's a new speed record for a street legal vehicle! And again this comes from the manufacturer SSC. They had already achieved an average speed of 13 km / h (2007 mph) with the SSC Ultimate Aero on September 412,22, 256,14. At that time, the vehicle was crowned the fastest production vehicle in the world. There have been a few changes since then, and the most recent record holder was the Koenigsegg Agera RS with a speed of 277,87 mph (447,19 km / h). The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ has not been officially included so far. It had reached 304,77 mph (490,48 km / h) in Nevada, but the experiment was only carried out in one direction. And now there was a new record in Nevada. The fastest production car in the world is now the SSC Tuatara.

No - he was CAN'T so fast!

533 km / h - SSC Tuatara is (not) the fastest production car in the world!

He drove the same stretch of State Route 160 outside of Las Vegas near Pahrump as a production car on road tires and without racing fuel after two trips in opposite directions an incredible 301,07 mph (484,53 km / h) and 331,15 mph (532,93) , 508,73 km / h). The result is an “average” of an insane 316,11 km / h (32 mph). And if you look at the speedometer video, you will find that this speed is reached relatively quickly. After all, the hypercar accelerates at around 20 km / h (XNUMX mph) in the last five seconds, which indicates that there was still room for improvement. This also fits the statement made by Oliver Webb, who said that the car had "still well drawn“And would have been even faster without a cross wind. It was still more in there! Incidentally, the Tuatara improved even more speed records from the aforementioned Agera RS.

Incidentally, SSC North America officially completed the record-breaking attempt in accordance with the applicable regulations and with a certified GPS measuring device as well as under world record witnesses.
