The 2008 Ultimate Aero TT is the latest version by Shelby Super Cars (SSC). When the Ultimate Aero TT first made its debut many industry insiders felt that this vehicle would break the world speed record for production autos of 253.2 miles per hour, set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It wasn't long before they were proven right. The Final Aero TT reached an unique speed of 256.15 miles per hour, making this lightweight, aerodynamic car officially the "World's Fastest Production Car."
Achieving incredible power via its twin turbo V-8 engine, it produces 1,183 h.p. And 1,094 ft.-lbs. of torque. The speedometer on the car goes up to 260, and in 6th gear at 7,200 r.p.m ; the TT's performance stats say it exceeds 286 miles per hour.
The Ultimate Aero TT does zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.78 seconds and 1 / 4 mile in less than ten seconds. It has a 422-pound V-8 engine with an aluminum block and heads. The four-wheel rocket redlines at 7,200 revs per minute, and the car's h.p. is an incredible 1,183 at 6,950 rpm. It's a rear-wheel drive with a mid-engine position. The lightweight body is formed 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 20 by 13 inches in the rear. The ride is controlled by unequal length upper and lower A-arms coil-over springs in the front and rear.
This politically inaccurate beast vehicle- with a four-inch ground clearance- has a refined side too. The interior is both clean and stylish. 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 11 heavenly colors, including yellow, purple and plum.
The Shelby name has been related to classic, super-fast cars for decades. However, Carroll Shelby, the person who made the world think about autos rather than reptiles when referring to cobras or rattlesnakes, isn't related whatsoever to Jarod Shelby, the owner of SSC and the designer of the Final Aero TT. Perhaps there is just something about that name?.
