SSC Ultimate Aero

Occurrence on a world car market of the car of Bugatti Veyron which are accelerating to 407 km/h long did not give resting time to firm management SSC (Shelby Super Cars). It is necessary to give to them due, with the answer they not so tightened. In 2006 this firm brought into the world the race car having capacity of 1046 l. With. And speed limit of 440 km/h. This fastest car in the world – SSC Ultimate Aero is called but experts argue that Bugatti is the main competitor and they still trying to decide who is the number one in the world. The first place belongs to the American car made by company Shelby SuperCars. Model SSC Ultimate Aero was dispersed in September 2008 to 412,28 kilometers per hour (km/h)! Whether many heard about this firm or this model? While a series from such 25 cars is planned. And here in technical characteristics speed of 438 km/h is written. The previous record of the same mark has been fixed so: on a free line the car was dispersed to 413,83 km/hour. On the way back only 409,71 km/h. Therefore for a record average value of two attempts — 411,76 km/h is accepted. This monster has capacity of 1287 horse powers (l. With.) Car speedup to measure much more difficult, than speed and to these figures it is necessary to trust less at all manufacturers (for how many seconds speeds of 100 or 200 km/h will be reached, for example,). Shelby SuperCars and on speedup results record figures. 60 miles at an o’clock are reached for 2,78 seconds, 100 km/h will be reached for 2,88 seconds. There is such car more than one million dollars, but the price contractual in each specific case.

Technically it not too far left from the predecessor Aero SC/8T. Short of the engine – the car did not change almost. The spatial frame assembled from steel tubes, carbon body, titanic elements of a design.

Technical characteristics SSC Ultimate Aero

The engine – aluminium V8 LS2 taken from Corvette C6, but with the volume increased to 6,3 l and a supercharger with pressure 1,4 bars. The maximum indications of a twisting moment of the engine reach 1113 Nanometers. Such indicators achieved thanks to the increased diameter of cylinders and shorter course of buckets. To fill it is necessary only the gasoline having octane number 104 which use exclusively in racing cars, motorcycles and motor boats.

If at race car equipment used a six-step mechanical gear box, till the speed of 100 km/hour it can be dispersed for 2,4 seconds Practically as car Formuly-1.
