The 2008 Ultimate Aero TT is the newest version by Shelby Super Cars (SSC). When the Ultimate Aero TT first made its debut many industry insiders felt this car would break the world speed record for production vehicles of 253.2 miles per hour, set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It wasn’t long before they were proved right. The Final Aero TT reached an unprecedented speed of 256.15 mph, making this lightweight, aerodynamic vehicle officially the “World’s Fastest Production Car.”
Achieving tremendous power thru its twin turbo V-8 engine, it produces 1,183 h.p. and 1,094 ft.-lbs. Of torque. The speedometer on the automobile goes up to 260, and in 6th gear at 7,200 rpm; the TT’s performance stats state that it exceeds 286 miles per hour.
The Final Aero TT does 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.78 seconds and a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds. It’s got a 422-pound V-8 engine with an aluminum block and heads. The four-wheel rocket redlines at 7,200 r.p.m, and the vehicle’s horsepower Is an awesome 1,183 at 6,950 rpm. It’s a rear-wheel drive with a mid-engine position. The lightweight body is made of carbon fiber, composites, and a steel space frame. It sets on Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, 19 by 9.5 inches in the front and twenty by 13 inches in the rear. The ride is controlled by unsymmetrical length upper and lower A-arms coil-over springs in the front and rear.
This politically wrong beast vehicle- with a four-inch ground clearance- has a refined side too. The interior is both clean and chic. Even the roll bar boosts the lines of the cabin by matching the vehicle’s seats. There also is a high-end sound system and a DVD navigational system. It comes in eleven heavenly colours, including yellow, purple and plum.
The Shelby name has been associated with classic, super-fast automobiles for years. However, Carroll Shelby, the person who made the world think about automobiles rather than reptiles when referring to cobras or vipers, is not related whatsoever to Jarod Shelby, the owner of SSC and the designer of the Final Aero TT. Maybe there is just something about that name?.
