WORLD'S FASTEST ONBOARD: SSC Tuatara hits 331mph top speed
 

Twin turbo V8 making 1750Hp. Price 1.65 mill to 1.9 mill depending on options.

Spoiler alert: he doesn’t even start accelerating until 200mph god damn

I wonder what kinda tires it needs, I recall bugatti and koenigsegg was all limited by their tires and repeating that speed safely

Based on their website, tires are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for an off the shelf vehicle. Not sure what they used in this run, however.

245/35YR20 - FRONT
345/30YR20 - REAR

Not bad for an old fashioned pushrod engine.

This is definitely what stood out to me as well, pretty insane machine

Some updates

I like how he starts fist pumping while still doing over 200mph.

Bugatti is going to unveil a new electric hypercar on October 28th as part of Rimac's ownership of Bugatti now.

This car looks sick! Perhaps this new Bugatti can beat the Tuatara in terms of top speed?

pretty cool this is an LS based engine and the previous record holder the konigsegg was a ford based engine

Reminds me of those Tamiya 4WD model kits for some reason

I haven't watched much of the explanations but it seems like it's fake?

Posted above. There's even two more new vids from shmee and Robert Mitchell

Yea, I watched a few videos basically it's fake. If it took them 24 secs to travel the distance that was shown in the videos 1.44 miles according to geographic markers they were only traveling at around 220 mph. Also something about 6th gear at 7000rpm should only be up to 180 mph.

They are going to test it again.

:suspicious:
is something else limiting the speed? It seems to have plenty of power to continue accelerating after reaching 331mph(532km/h)
It got there so effortlessly...
