SSC Smokes Bugatti
Ultimate Aero smashes both Koenigsegg and Bugatti records
SSC Ultimate Aero TT is now officially named the world’s fastest production car after its astonishing 1183bhp record in a two-way average of 413kph on a closed section of highway in Washington state.
The driver was 71-year-old Chuck Bigelow (yes, really), who clocked 414kph in one direction and 410kph on the return run to give the average, which has now been verified by Guinness World Records. It beat the previous official holder, the Koenigsegg CCR, by 24kph, and also eclipsed the Bugatti Veyron’s widely reported but unofficial top speed record of 406kph. Bigelow is confident that the supercar could go faster on the long run, meaning SSC has plenty in hand should Bugatti or Koenigsegg attempt to set a new record. The Ultimate Aero uses a twin-turbocharged V8 derived from a GM engine.
