The SSC Ultimate Aero is a powerful engine sports car manufactured by Shelby SuperCars. The precious SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the world’s fastest production car, which travels at a top speed of 257 mph.
The new version known as 2009 SSC Ultimate Aero has been modified where some changes have been added to the exteriors, interiors, and the increase of horsepower about 15%. The most important change is the single piece aluminum block engine that improves the oiling capabilities and structure of the engine, so that the SSC Ultimate Aero produces an output of about 1287 horsepower.
At the cost of $654,000 and with a newly designed engine, the Ultimate Aero can reach a maximum speed of 270 mph, which is a world record speed. It can reach from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 secs. The front face of the car has been redesigned with improved aerodynamics and carbon fiber which draws 20% additional air to the radiators for better cooling.
The AeroBrakeTM system has been introduced in this car which is a rear spoiler system that can be controlled by a switch. The spoiler speed can be set depending on the pressure applied on the brake pedal.
The interiors are mostly designed of carbon fibers that bound the doors, steering column, speedometer and tachometer.

Not one of you gets the point of the Veyron. It’s electronically limited because the boss wanted it to do the speed it does, and the horsepower is electronically limited because again the boss wanted it to have 1001HP
SCC is modded to the hill the veyron isn’t, if the veyron was modded it would be pulling in almost 2000hp with twice the engine and twice the turbo’s but unlike American over here in europe luxury is also very important.
The dashboard alone costs £500k with diamonds rubys and magnesium billet control stalks. If you filled that plastic piece of shelby rubbish with luxury it would fail miserably.
Bugatti also went to Michelin for speacially made tyres as no company in the world made a tyre that could sustain speeds of over 250MPH
Frnakly comparing that plastic bucket to this is stupid, It’s like comparing a riced up Civic to a ferrari
This car cost $7.2 millions dollars each to make and they sell tham at such a loss just to show that it could be done.
And how reliable will a 1200HP V8 be when it’s been modded so badly. The Veyron gets to where it is with ease and finesse I would imagine the SSC is like trying to drive a feather through a wind tunnel on maximum power.

for a big shelby fan i have to agree with kyle that america has been noted for some famous cars like the Camaro, Charger, Coronet, Chevelle, Challenger, Mustang, and Corvette

Kyle you are right. The Hennessey Viper Venom is faster. But Hennessey is a mod company who takes an already awesome car and loads it down with thousands of dollars worth of parts. The SSC Aero is an off the lot production car that does not have the modifications like Hennessey does. And besides, no one gets to drive a Hennessey car unless they are filthy rich or go behind closed doors with the Hennessey staff. Kyle, you also said that the Veyron is better. Well you are wrong. It is not only slower than the Aero, but the two tone paint job looks horrible, it is a heavier piece of junk and it should not cost 1.7 million.

i think i peed myself :/ great car.. and muscsleguy, dude, you need help, psychiatric help…
November 5th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
dude… read this… hennesseys viper venom 1000 twin turbo is much faster than tht ultimate areo ssc… its bout 3 to 4 miles per hour faster… and if u ask me thts a big difference!!! yall need to check it out… search up hennesseys website from google and see for urself!!! plus he’s evn going to have a faster one come out tht will beat evrything and its the hennessey venom gt!!! its lighter than tht areo ssc… and it is all going to be built wit his own exact parts tht only he makes for his own cars… sooo check it out!!!
November 5th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
nope im all american and dude… read this… hennesseys viper venom 1000 twin turbo is much faster than tht ultimate areo ssc… its bout 3 to 4 miles per hour faster… and if u ask me thts a big difference!!! yall need to check it out… search up hennesseys website from google and see for urself!!! plus he’s evn going to have a faster one come out tht will beat evrything and its the hennessey venom gt!!! its lighter than tht areo ssc… and it is all going to be built wit his own exact parts tht only he makes for his own cars… sooo check it out!!!

Kyle is a retard. He doesnt even know the definition of speed and is probably some foreign kid who thinks his countrys cars are better than american brands.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
ill take a corvette and a Ferrari anyday over this wanna be piece of junk carbon fiber car

First of all the Veyron is not the fastest production car: the SSC Ultimate Aero is. The Veyron will win in the 0-60 race, but after that the Aero will overtake the Veyron. Second, the Aero is cheaper, costing 654,000, while the Veyron costs 1.7 million. The Aero comes with better features, such as butterfly doors and a cooler paint job than the Veyrons two tone feature. It pulls zero to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds thanks to its 1,094 lb-ft of torque and 1,183 horsepower — more grunt than any other street car. The SSC Ultimate Aero TT holds the Guinness World Record for fastest production car, at 257 mph. Can the Veyron hit 257. No. Can the Aero. Yes. Will rules and anyone who likes the Veyron can suck it.

ok the vayron is faster i dnt car wat ne1 says diference is the vayron cant do its top speed with the spoiler up n it was when it first come out the VERY first 1 could get up 2 436 km\h thank very much
November 1st, 2009 at 9:55 am
i love this car
October 31st, 2009 at 10:59 am
2.7 sec. in 0-60 miles.. because its light weight than the Veyron is heavier so it gets 2.5 0-60 miles but in top speed the veyron is too heavy and have a speed limiter than the SSC ultimate aero lighter that doesnt have limiter.. i either like the two cars than nothing..
October 30th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
i think that the ssc is the best production car ever. the best part is that it only has a v8 engine. the ssc is very compare to the bugatti which by the way is a v16 ran out of gas in just a couple of minute. the ssc is like a ferrari pruis compare to the bugatti which is more like a ford mustage phantom.
October 29th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Wat brand?
October 27th, 2009 at 5:39 am
The Aero and the Shelby SuperCars company are the brainchildren of Jerod Shelby (no relation to car designer Carroll Shelby), who spent over seven years designing the car. the reason it has a slower zero to sixty time than the bugatti is because of the bugatti’s all wheel drive-train.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Funny.. funny.. funny..
If i was a billionaire, I would take the Bugatti Veyron because Bugatti Veyron is very2 luxury supercar.
LUXURY + FAST = BEST
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:07 pm
SSC Ultimate Aero could beat Bugatti everyday.
The Bugatti is just ugly.

In this car aerodynamics are focused on low drag, for top speed not much aerodynamic grip is requiered, thus the ground effects should be enough. But this car has a low weight and huge amounts of power and torque, and with the lack of grip, it will be very slow on turns, mainly low/mid speed turns. This car is only made for break the world record. It weights 1,362lbs less then Veyron and has 200HP more. Then, why is slower in the 0-60MPH??? The answer is not in the “4WD” OR “Launch control”, just think the Veyron has 1.91lbs for each HP, and the Aero has 1.05lbs per HP, the Veyron has 55% more weight for each HP. The answer is in the lower weigth and higher torque of the Aero. Starting from 0MPH, the Veyron has more grip, thanks to his huge weight, while the lighter Aero has less grip due to it’s lower weight and then, the car has to handle a huge amount of torque: up to 1,094 ft·lbf. Thus, to avoid losing traction, the TC(traction control) has to reduce the amount of torque going to the wheels, making this car slower on acceleration, but once the speed is enough so weight becomes a problem for the Veyron, the lighter Aero will be able to overtake him. I think is too much power for a car to handle, but mainy too much torque, as test driver Rick Doria reported wheel-spin at 190MPH http://www.gadgets.autoblog.com/2007/03/22/ssc-confident-ultimate-aero-tt-will-be-will-be-worlds-fastest-so/ somewhat dangerous, if you ask me, isn’t it?? Formula 1 cars once used turbo-charged engines and they were very, very fast on the tracks, either turns and straights, obviously, they were hard to drive. Will the Aero be good in a track?? NO, because it lacks the aerodynamics of that F1 racers, since these kind of aerodynamics will increase the drag, thus reducing considerably the top speed, and as it has huge amounts of torque, it will produce oversteering into the turns, as the rear wheels had to handle with both the centrifugal forces and the torque coming from the engine, and, as you may know, in the case of the Aero, this torque is huge. The Turbocharged F1 can be drived without traction control because they had low torque(even with the turbos) and high revving engines.

At shadow: the barabus isn’t in production
October 17th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
strange, the bugatti, second fastest car costs more than twice of the fastest car the SSC Ultimate Aero.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:34 am
Its made by Shelby Super Cars, hense SSC. yes, carol Shelby!!!
October 13th, 2009 at 5:56 am
If this comes in top gear, i assure you they’ll go for the veyron, this car is just made for beating the speed of the veyron at the cost of everything else, and they made 3 models for perfectioning the aerodynamics wich alot of people like but that’s something they didn’t do with the veyron. The veyron is just beauty. about the engine, they both have a double V8 (W16) but the bugatti has 2.5sec to 60mph and this one 2.7 (despite the aerodynamics).
so boohoohoo this one is faster, when will you ever go over 200mph? never is the answer!
By the way, if you want to go to top speed with the veyron you’r tires are dead in 15 minutes, but you’r fuel tank in 12minutes. You think now, oh that’s crappy but what will it be like in the aero?
so if i was a billionaire, i would take the veyron
October 9th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Looks like it was designed by a 14yr old with its cheap looking body. The performance is impressive but deinately can’t beat the bugatti for style.
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:59 pm
could someone please tell me who owns the company who makes this car i would love to know this car is a stunner if only i had money lol
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:58 am
i would kill my teacher, little brother, big sister for this car and maybe also my mom. i just love it
September 30th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Call me at 343-2204 real name is Bob jackson
September 30th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I love this car its the best f***en car in the world. If I could have any car it would be this one. I would trade my mom for this car. Its a bad motherf***er
September 27th, 2009 at 1:26 am
this car is awesome with aerodynamics and cool style but a 9of10 forthe bhp could do more
September 25th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
that car is sick
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:15 am
this car is so much stylistically inclined over that ugly bugatti. its power and appeal pushes this car to a new level which i don’t see getting reached by anything in the future for several years. the bugatti is a stretch volkswagen bug. look at it, you’ll agree. what amazes me is unlike its many contenders, it doesn’t have some 20 turbo v-72. just a twin turbo v-8. wonder what this car would do with a couple more turbos and a few more cylinders. word.
September 20th, 2009 at 12:44 am
wow its Awesome CAR !!!!
BEST SPEED
September 12th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
the barabus TKR is better it goes 270 and 0-60 in 1.67 seconds and its a lot cheaper
September 9th, 2009 at 7:43 am
This car sucks my moms mini van would beat it
September 5th, 2009 at 11:56 am
The 2009 version is amazing, with upgrades, the top speed will be well over 300 MPH. The top gear guys have yet to bring any of the 3 versions of this amazing supercar on the show. Once the stig takes all 3 models on the test track, the Gumpert Apollo’s time record of 77.1 seconds will be broken. At a stock speed of 284 MPH for the 2009 version, it will destroy every car there is, especially on the straits. Props to the SSC company for another great car!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:10 am
Just commenting to have the 69th comment. 69! Hope you guys can take a joke and not yell at me for that comment…
But I’ll add something useful anyway. Or a sort of question…
Where and how big is the boot? If it has one?
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:08 am
I think everyone agrees with me here when I say ‘Bugatti veyron’ FTW. Hands down!
August 28th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
been their done that
August 26th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
i would like to get one of these cars, but where can i get one?
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:52 pm
This is a car that i wish i could have. and also can it come in Black
