SSC Ultimate Aero is a powerful engine sports car produced by Shelby
Supercars. SSC Ultimate Aero TT valuable is the world's fastest
production car, moving at a top speed of 257 mph.
The new version, known as the 2009 SSC Ultimate Aero has been modified
where some changes have been added to the exterior, interior, and an
increase in horsepower by about 15%. The most important change is the
single piece of aluminum engine block that enhances the ability of
oiling and structure of the machine, so that the SSC Ultimate Aero
produces an output of about 1,287 horsepower.
At a cost of $ 654,000 and with a newly designed engine, the Ultimate
Aero can reach a maximum speed of 270 mph, which is a world record
speed. It can reach from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. The front face of
the car has been redesigned with improved aerodynamics and carbon fiber
that draws air an additional 20% to radiators for better cooling.
AeroBrakeTM system has been introduced in this car which is a rear
spoiler system that can be controlled by the switch. Speed spoiler can
be adjusted depending on the pressure applied to the brake pedal.
Interior mostly designed from carbon fiber that binds the door, the steering column, the speedometer and tachometer.
In 2009, SSC updated the Ultimate Aero TT, with the new version having
an increase in power of 15% over the older model. SSC predicts a top
speed of over 270 mph (430 km/h) is possible. In order to prevent the
engine from overheating, airflow to the engine has been increased 20%
with new carbon fiber louvers. The nose has been redesigned to make the
car more aerodynamic, and the interior has been redesigned. The new Aero
also has a new AeroBrake system, which is a spoiler that rises up to 8
