The SSC Ultimate Aero just introduced from www.shelbysupercars.com is now officially the fastest production car in the world, faster than the McLaren F1, Koenigsegg, and Bugatti Veyron. With 1183 Horsepower at the wheels from a twin turbo V8 it is now officially the fastest at a record 256.19 MPH. MotorCars of Las Vegas has the car shown here and was taking Ferrari Club members out for test drives accompanied by company founder and owner Jerod Shelby. No relation to Carroll, Jerod chose to keep the Aero under the car industry's radar for the last couple years because of problems he witnessed with other manufacturer's premature claims. "Every six months, you see another car company claiming to have the latest and greatest 200-plus mph car, when in actuality what they have is a computer drawing and a virtual idea of how the car will run. These companies start the buzz, try to live up to the hype, and then end up falling short of their expectations. Our philosophy was to keep everything quiet and not introduce the car until it was completed, tested, design and performance proven and ready to take orders. And here we are." Shelby commented. Jesse Maheu, Bob Lebenson and Chris Tromba took test drives. |
