SSC Tuatara

Shelby Supercars unveiled its upcoming record breaking supercar, the futuristic looking SSC Tuatara aims to take the title of the fastest production car in the world. A title currently held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

This impressive automobile is powered by a 7.0 liter DOHC twin turbocharged V8 which delivers approximately 1,350bhp! Through the extensive use of carbon fiber and other exotic materials the SSC Tuatara achieves an impressively low weight for a supercar with such monstrous displacement. Although not 100% proven, it is rumored that that its dry weight will be under 1180kg. If that claim stands the power-to-weight ratio exceeds 1bhp per kilo, even with the car filled with gasoline and all other fluids. A hugely impressive feat that sets the SSC Tuatara in a class of its own. Interestingly even its wheels are made of carbon fiber and weigh less than 6kg.
