SSC Ultimate Aero TT
Okay, I wasn't really aware of this cars existence until I read this.
 http://www.forbes.com/2006/11/22/fas...thisSpeed=3000 Craziness.... How can they say the car does 273mph?!?! Is there even any truth to this ridiculous claim? |

There will be when it's independently tested. Should happen soon from what I've heard.

Okay that Top Speed is complete rubbish. Look at the speed per gear table.

That is a big jump, and a big claim. 1100hp sure, but to get to that speed?

keep in mind this is a kit car built by a small company, so i seriously doubt any of that stuff is even close to true when the germans cant make a 1.5 million dollar car do 260mph. The horsepower is possible, there quite a few very similar diablo replicas with over 750hp, one of which was J.C. Hamlin's roadser, built by these guys.
The diablo body is still pretty obvious under the 2 or 3 tweaks they did. Not my cup of tea really.
