E' lei l'auto piu' veloce al mondo che puo' circolare per le nostre strade. Sviluppata a dalla SSC (Shelby supercars), il motore e' un V8 biturbo in grado di generare ben 1083cv e 1400 Nm e spingere la vettura alla folle velocità di 411.7 Km/h, battendo la Bugatti Veyron di 4.3 Km/h. Il record e' stato ufficialmente registrato dal "Guiness World Records".

SSC Ultimate Aero Charging Towards 'World Fastest Production Car' Record

WEST RICHLAND, WA (08/01/2007) Shelby SuperCars (SSC), manufacturer of the world’s most powerful production car, the Ultimate Aero, announced today that speed testing for the title "World's Fastest Production Car" will be finalized by the end of August. Speed testing is being conducted in the company's home state of Washington and is being validated by Guinness World Records.

There is a standard procedure outlined by Guinness World Records to validate a land speed record. The vehicle must drive the predetermined course, turn around, and drive back the opposite way within one hour. This is to negate any discrepancy there may be in the course or conditions. Top speeds from each run are then averaged to obtain the official speed. This method has been used for decades as the benchmark for land speed record attempts.

Dewetron, a company known for performance testing of missile, train, aerospace, and automotive capabilities will accurately monitor and measure the speed of the Ultimate Aero for the record run. Dewetron’s equipment is so precise that Guinness World Records approved their systems as a replacement for the standard 1,000m laser traps. Dewetron utilizes 4-12 satellites and numerous onboard sensors to track a vehicle's speed.

The lack of access to a US-based proving ground able to accommodate the Ultimate Aero’s top speed presented SSC with a massive challenge. After scouring the country for months, SSC found the solution in their home state of Washington when they were granted the opportunity to close public highways for testing. Finding appropriate roads eligible for closure proved to be a tedious process as SSC’s teams scouted the sites first hand. After a potential site was identified, the company would need to apply for a road closure permit. Hiring police, a crew to man the closed section, and securing insurance for the high-speed test sessions were just a few of the undertakings necessary to be granted the rare closure of public roads.

Since the first test session, SSC has successfully concluded several rounds of high-speed safety and durability testing for each assembly of the Ultimate Aero. During these sessions, SSC was able to verify all the engineering specifications as well as aerodynamic data posted at NASA's Langley wind tunnel. Throughout the test sessions, the measured top speed of the Ultimate Aero continued to rise, achieving a speed of 241.4 mph at a throttle position of only 71% during the latest transmission durability test. After reviewing all test data, Jerod Shelby and the SSC engineering team feel comfortable in maximizing the capabilities of the 1183 hp Ultimate Aero.

è anche guardabile!

Scommetto che è più leggera della Veyron

me piasc assai

Ti piace vincere facile !!!

Ma per piacere .... al nurburgring prendera biada da una gt3!!!

ragazzi ma c'e' realmente bisogno di questa continua corsa al   CELOPIUGRANDEIO   che in questi ultimi tempi sta dilagando tra tutti i costruttori piu' o meno conosciuti?? 

Cavolo se ci fate caso, negli ultimi tempi sono venuti fuori più razzi di questo tipo, che utilitarie per combattere il traffico cittadino.......bhà!

ma al bar è imbattibile, pensaci quando vendi l'elise.

Peggio per VW che si è complicata la vita da sola

Certo che no, ma ormai è la "moda del momento". C'è da dire che è sempre meglio vedere queste piuttosto che le SUV pompate

Credo sia piu comprensibile questo "CELODURO" da parte di produttori "semisconosciuti" in quanto consente ad essi di avere l'articoletto sul giornale e di farsi un po' di pubblicitò.
Da parti delle grandi case lo vedo un po' piu inutile

E perchè? Secondo me è "importante" anche per le case conosciute, sai, il ritorno di immagine

Si certo, ma imho è piu utile per la case piccole. In fin dei conti solo bugatti ha voluto far vedere a tutti quante "celaduro".

questo celodurismo esiste da qualdo esistono le auto, il primo record mondiale di velocità per auto risale al 1898...

Mi hai preceduto di pochissimo...
