SSC Tuatara Hits 295 Mph In 2.3 Miles, Breaks Its Own Record | Carscoops carscoops
, but the truck carrying the Tuatara crashed and damaged the supercar. And this leads us to the May 2022 record which is probably not the last.
The SSC Tuatara is based on a carbon-fiber monocoque and has a drag coefficiency of 0.279 cd. The supercar is fitted with a twin-turbo 5.9-liter V8 engine producing up to 1,750 hp when running on methanol. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a CIMA seven-speed automatic gearbox. Jerod Shelby, SSC North America founder and CEO, said: “The sheer rate of acceleration that the Tuatara was producing all the way through 295 mph really told us that this car is not even close to reaching its ceiling. All the data and imagery has given us a clear picture that the limiting factor wasn’t the car, but the fact that we ran out of runway”.
Mitchell Townsend, independent analyst and Racelogic technician who was present during all speed testing sessions of the Tuatara, said: “No road car I’ve seen pulls like that. I believe that this is the only car that I know of right now that can be verified running 300, especially in such a short distance.
