The 2008 Ultimate Aero TT is the newest version by Shelby Super Autos ( SSC ). When the Final Aero TT first made its debut many industry insiders felt this auto would break the world speed record for production vehicles of 253.2 miles per hour, set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It wasn’t long before they were proven right. The Ultimate Aero TT reached an unprecedented speed of 256.15 mph, making this lightweight, aerodynamic vehicle officially the “World’s Fastest Production Car.”

Achieving amazing power via 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 sixth gear at 7,200 rpm; the TT’s performance stats confirm that it exceeds 286 mph.
The Ultimate Aero TT does 0 to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds and 1 / 4 mile in less than 10 seconds. It’s got a 422-pound V-8 engine with an aluminum block and heads. The four-wheel rocket redlines at 7,200 rpm, and the vehicle’s horsepower is an awesome 1,183 at 6,950 rpm. It is a rear-wheel drive with a mid-engine position. The lightweight body is created 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 twenty 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 incorrect beast vehicle- with a four-inch ground clearance- has a refined side too. The inside is both clean and stylish. Even the roll bar augments the lines of the cabin by matching the car’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 cars for decades. However, Carroll Shelby, the person who made the world think about automobiles rather than reptiles when referring to cobras or vipers, is not related whatsoever to Jarod Shelby, the owner of SSC and the designer of the Ultimate Aero TT. Perhaps there is just something about that name?.
