The 2008 Ultimate Aero TT is the newest version by Shelby Super Autos ( SSC ). When the Ultimate Aero TT first made its debut many industry insiders felt this auto would break the world speed record for production cars of 253.2 mph, set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It wasn’t long before they were proved right. The Ultimate Aero TT reached an unprecedented speed of 256.15 mph, making this lightweight, aerodynamic automobile officially the “World’s Fastest Production Car.”
Achieving incredible power thru its twin turbo V-8 engine, it produces 1,183 hp 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 confirm that it exceeds 286 miles per hour.
The Final Aero TT does zero to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds and a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds. It has 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 auto’s hp 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, nineteen by 9.5 inches in the front and 20 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 inside 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 11 heavenly colours, including yellow, purple and plum.
The Shelby name has been related to classic, super-fast automobiles 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 Ultimate Aero TT. Maybe there is just something about that name?.
