The SSC Tuatara is a hypercar designed, developed and manufactured by American automobile manufacturer SSC North America (formerly Shelby SuperCars Inc.). The car is the successor to the Ultimate Aero and is the result of a design collaboration between Jason Castriota and SSC. As of 2020, the car is recognized as the world’s fastest production car with the average top speed of 316.11 mph (508.73 km/h). Initially powered by a 6.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the capacity of the engine was later reduced to 5.9 liters in order to allow the engine to have a higher redline of 8,800 rpm. On October 10, 2020, the Tuatara set a production car top speed record, hitting a one-way top speed of 331.15 mph (532.93 km/h) and setting a two-way average of 316.11 mph (508.73 km/h) on a seven-mile stretch of closed road outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, near Pahrump on State Route 160. It beat the Koenigsegg Agera RS’s record, which set a record on the same highway in 2017, by 46.6 mph (75.0 km/h).
