SSC Announces Limited Production of Five Ultimate Aero XT's

SSC North America, the American supercar manufacturer and creator of the Guinness World Record breaking Ultimate Aero, is retiring the Ultimate Aero. To celebrate its run, SSC is launching a special final edition Ultimate Aero XT to enthusiasts worldwide. This limited, extreme edition will utilize some key assemblies that will be featured in the upcoming revolutionary Tuatara.

"The demand for us to deliver additional Ultimate Aero's has been overwhelming," says Jerod Shelby, Founder, Lead Designer and CEO of SSC. "We have just raised the bar again by adding some of the cutting-edge elements from our Tuatara, to this very small production run of Ultimate Aero XT's."

These five very unique, collectable Ultimate Aeros will be classified as the 2013 Ultimate Aero XT. Each 2013 Ultimate Aero XT will feature a 1300 horsepower version of the Tuatara power plant, 7-speed Tuatara paddle shift and the Tuatara cooling, fuel and braking systems.

The aggressive paint scheme with colors chosen by the customer will never be used again on an Ultimate Aero or Tuatara. It certainly will stand apart from any other Ultimate Aero in the market today.

After the 5 limited edition Ultimate Aero XT's are sold, production of the Ultimate Aero will permanently conclude.

More power in a car that already couldn't put any of it to the ground?

1300bhp, and the previous version only had 1287 bhp That's a 13 bhp upgrade. That's big news !

The 7 Speed transmission would appear to be the most significant update, no?

I don't see it as any different from all the versions of the Veyron or the Mustang.

In this case it's hilarious, but it's nothing new or unique to the automotive industry.

According to one of our former members this car is apparently better than the Bugatti Veyron, a car which is built by British people - despite being of French-German origins - who are the slaves of an individual named Gay Homo.

In all seriousness, I am disappointed by this. I thought they had really stepped up their game with the Tuatara and were actually nearing legitimacy as a carmaker.
Apparently, I's wrong.

I think it's more to move old stock.

After the Tuatara, who in their right mind would buy one of these?

The question is, is the Tuatara actually available at all?
