Americans now have the world's fastest production car

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT is now the world's fastest production car. The car is made by Shelby Super Cars (SSC), and the top speed for this car is 256.15 mph. It has 1183 horses, weighs 2750 lbs., and wind tunnel testing indicates that the car is capable of reaching 273 mph. Otherwise, the car is about $675,000, and it comes in like 7 different colors. This car also just has a V8 in it.





I got this info from SSC Aero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Thanks!!!!

No in fact it's completely bad looking

I don't like their wind tunnel claim either I think the car should prove it's speed on an oval or at least in real life and not a windtunnel test
