Making the record-setting run on a closed two-lane stretch of Washington State public highway, the 1183 horsepower Ultimate Aero was able to hit a top speed of 257.11 mph and averaged 255.83 mph — 3.11 mph faster than the unofficial record set by the Bugatti Veyron.
Although the Ultimate Aero was able to do over 257 mph, the official record will stand at 255.83 mph. This is because the Guinness World Records requires a vehicle testing for the top speed record to race down the course, turn around, and then make a return pass within one hour. The top speed is calculated by averaging the top speeds of each pass, negating any favorable road or weather conditions in any one direction. The Ultimate Aero’s first pass netted a top speed of 257.11 mph with the car hitting 254.55 mph on its return run, averaging out to the record speed of 255.83 mph.
The SSC Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo uses a 387 cubic-inch twin-turbo V8 rated at 1183 horsepower and 1094 lb-ft of torque. The car weighs in at 2750 lbs, resulting in weight to horsepower ratio of 2.33 — a record for a production car. In addition to being able to go well over 250 mph, the Ultimate Aero can go from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds at 144 mph and circle the skidpad at 1.05 g.
The Ultimate Aero is one of the most extreme vehicles on the road today, achieving incredible performance via its twin turbo V-8 engine. With an incredible 1,183-horsepower and 1094 ft.-lbs. of torque there is simply no other production car that can match the impressive raw power of the Ultimate Aero .
