That run takes less than 16 seconds. That's very quick, but it's not as quick as it's likely to be in the Tuatara, which will use its seven-speed manual or optional seven-speed sequential transmissions to route 1,350 twin-turbo horsepower from its 7.0-liter V-8 through the rear wheels. The Tuatara's sleek design is also likely to slice the air a bit more efficiently than the Ultimate Aero's, so we expect big things from the small-marque hypercar.
So does SSC, estimating the car will hit a top speed of 275 mph--7 mph faster than the delimited top speed of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, the current record holder.
