Watch The SSC Tuatara Deliver An Insane 1,890 HP On The Dyno | Carscoops carscoops
Powering the Tuatara is a twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter V8 with a flat-plane crank, built by Nelson Racing Engines. SSC has long claimed that this V8 is good for 1,750 hp on E85 and 1,350 hp on 91 octane fuel, extraordinary figures for what is basically a road-legal car.
However, a pair of videos recently shared on SSC’s Instagram page reveals that this engine is more powerful than claimed. In the first clip, the V8 itself is put through its paces on an engine dyno and tops out at 1,890 hp, almost 150 hp more than the car manufacturer’s official claim. It’s worth noting that no information has been provided about what fuel the engine was running at the time of the test.
In May, SSC set a new production car top speed record in the Tuatara, hitting 295 mph during tests along a 2.3-mile runway at the Kennedy Space Center. This test came after the car topped out at an average of 282.9 mph across two runs in January 2021. The Tuatara made global headlines in October 2020 when SSC claimed that it recorded a top speed average of 316.11 mph with the car.View this post on Instagram
