To break the current record, which stands at 253mph, SSC will use its 2,750 lb Ultimate Aero TT. The supercar comes equipped with a twin-turbo 6.2L V8 pumping out 1183bhp and 1094ft-lbs of torque and has a drag coefficient of 0.357, which its makers claim will send it all the way to 273mph.
The Ultimate Aero TT isn’t just a stripped out shell with an engine and driver’s seat either. It comes with many comfort features including a full leather and suede interior, unique Recaro bolsters, 10 speaker premium audio system, sat-nav DVD with a reverse camera and finally, a hydraulic system that can raise it 4in to tackle steep driveways.
