SSC Ultimate Aero

The SSC Ultimate Aero is a mid-engined sports car that was produced by SSC North America (formerly known as Shelby SuperCars) from 2006 until 2013. The SSC Ultimate Aero held the title of the fastest production car in the world, according to the Guinness World Records, from 2007 (when it was officially timed at 256.14 mph (412.22 km/h)) until the introduction of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in 2010. However, in April 2013, the Guinness World Records disqualified the Veyron's record time, and reinstated the Ultimate Aero as the fastest production car ever; this change was reverted just five days later. The SSC Ultimate Aero was not sold with electronic driver aids such as ABS brakes or traction control, as according to Jerod Shelby, "Early design philosophy on the car was to make it a driver's car. I wanted a car that you not only throttled with your right foot but at times you could steer with your right foot." Development history 2004 - SSC Aero SC/8T №1 Protot...

SSC Tuatara

The SSC Tuatara is a monster of a Sports Car manufactured by SSC or Shelby Super Cars in a bid to claim the title of manufacturing the 'World's fastest production car'. SSC is not a very big company in comparison to the current champion it has challenged - Bugatti owned by Volkswagen. The supercar was unveiled at the 2011 Dubai International Motor Show and though it was priced at a hefty $1.3 million, it already sold 10 pieces in the show itself. The car arrives as a very worthy successor to the SSC Ultimate Aero and it features a power-to-weight ratio of 1,125 hp per tonne. Price: $1,300,000
