The second fastest super car of all time is the SSC Ultimate Aero Shelby Super Car, with 1300 horsepower, which will blow your mind...
Although in the speed test it lost to Veyron, this sports car is one of the most impressive cars of this type. The company Shelby is known for its car replicas of interesting and unusual design, while this model was created as a tribute to the founder of the company - Carroll Shelby. Brilliant SSC company’s model originated in 2004., when the production of prototype used chassis of Lamborghini Diablo, Corvette C5R engine and the same six-speed gearbox, already seen in Dodge Viper.
Finally, in a similar form as it is today, the car was created in 2006. year, equipped with a Chevrolet engine, turbocharger and huge 1063 hp. Basic Ultimate Aero, exclusive sporty, surprises not only when you compare it with ordinary cars, but also in relation to other super cars. In fact, the V8 twin-turbo engine of 6.3 liters, with an amazing 1200 horsepower and torque strength of 1100 Nm are facts worthy of respect and admiration. Due to this configuration engine, SSC had released Aero model in 2009., which has an incredible 1287 horsepower, and for which we can freely say that it is the most powerful car in the world. For the Ultimate you can only presume that it is one of those cars that are designed to serve only one purpose - to achieve high speeds.
In year 2007, this car has set the Guinness record for the speed of a street car. It achieved a top speed of 412 km / h, the speed for which the people thought it was possible to see only in Formula 1. This record was owned by Aero for nearly three years, until it was beaten by Bugatti Veyron, (430KM / h) in 2010. As already noted, super fast cars have great and aerodynamic design, as if they are “from space”. The same is with Ultimate Aero.
Will Shelby be able to make improvements on one of the most influential super cars, making it able to again reach the throne of the fastest cars in the world? We do not know, but it is very possible. One thing is for sure! If you would like to have this luxury vehicle, you will need a "symbolic" sum of 970,000 dollars. If you possess it, you’ll be on all those 1,300 horses!
