SSC Tuatara specs

Here’s a clip of the car doing high-speed runs on a closed stretch of Washington highway.

This is officially my new favorite hypercar. It’s also the only one of these claimed “300 mph+ cars” that has reached customers. Bugatti’s isn’t due until next year, and Koenigsegg’s hasn’t been delivered yet. Love the engine, love the looks, love the interior.

Gotta love that engine :D

God I love this car :D

Here are the simulation results for the SSC Tuatara, as requested.

0-30: 1.3s
0-40: 1.7s
0-50: 2.1s
0-60: 2.6s
0-70: 3.0s
0-80: 3.5s
0-90: 3.9s
0-100: 4.4s
0-110: 4.8s
0-120: 5.3s
0-130: 5.8s
0-140: 6.3s
0-150: 6.8s
0-160: 7.2s
0-170: 7.8s
0-180: 8.3s
0-190: 8.9s
0-200: 9.4s
0-250: 13.2s

Top Speed: 305.0 mph

best looking hypercar? it's at least up there

Estimated specifications:
0-60mph: 2.5s
0-100mph: 4.4s
Top Speed: 311mph

SSC claims a 0-60mph of under 2.5s, and the 1/4 mile in under 9.75s.

@fastestlaps, still haven't transferred the updated specs, i assume it doesn't take too long to adjust ;)

this needs to be updated

It will. SSC released a teaser recently.

Sucks this car is never going to make production.

Top speed: 443 kph
0 - 100 kph: 2.5 s

This is another car that should be deleted. As far as i know, there was not a single car produced, not even a functioning prototype.

Amazing

I will just be amazed if we ever see one of these powerful US 'veyron killing' motors ever post a proper lap time, as far as I can tell they go really fast in a straight line in the dry and thats about it.

Until I see ONE laptime on a real track from an SSC, venom or something These are the dodge tomahawks of the car world only not nearly as cool as the tomahawk.

I'll show more interest when they actually make the car work and show what it can do.

"Did they even started the production?"

No, they did not. As said some posts below the production is set for January 2014. But I personally doubt it will get in production then...

Did they even started the production?
I do not belive in American motorization industry. Only Chevrolet doing well lately.

There is also a lot of great tuner companies there... but its kard to produce high-tech stuff in garage.

And do not even think about how many liters of petrol these 1350, respectively 1700 horses burn while a little joyride. Certainly, a Twin Turbo engine should be more economically then a naturally aspirated engine but average consumption should still be very high (I guess around 25-35 liters).

"Even" 1350 hp is beyond imagination amount of power...absolutly insane, beyond insane.

I somewhere read they will make a 1700 hp version, too. That huge amount of power would really be ridiculous in a road car. Even more than the "tiny" 1350 hp claimed...

the first customer cars are being delivered next month-jan 2014.

I guess the car will get in production in... 2016... Yeah, should be accurate...

So this car is from 2012... yeah right :D

Thiago_Links probably typeo-ed the first digit of introduction year. It should be 3012.

Looks like they're making some real progress on this car.
At least as of 04/24/2013

i highly doubt the streamliner would fear any better, despite my idea of how to fix the steering issue it would still be long and have massive blindspots and although engines have gotten more efficent it too would probably drink a lot

2 x 24 litre engines with 1350hp, definetly not good fuel consumption

@ Famgio Man & lafars: You'd be stopping at every gas station, even the ones across the street from each other, just to top off. :D

@lafars
...and I do not want to start with the average consumption... :D
