 SSC is an American based Sports car manufacturer founded by Jerod Shelby in 1998. In 2004, SSC released their first model the SSC Ultimate Aero, a mid-engined sports car equipped with a 6.35 liters (388 cu in) twin-turbocharged pushrod engined V8 which produces 1,287 bhp. On September 13, 2007, the "Ultimate Aero" gained the official Guinness World Record for the fastest production car. 


      SSC Tuatara is the successor to the Ultimate Aero and is the result of a design collaboration between Jason Castriota and SSC. The Tuatara is named after the reptile, found only in New Zealand, known for having the fastest molecular evolution of any living animal.

           SSC claims the Tuatara has the lowest drag coefficient in its class at 0.279. The car has a carbon-fiber body construction with aluminum crumple zones and incorporates active aerodynamics. along with a claimed (albeit disputed) top speed of 316.11 mph (508.73 km/h).

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut , top speed of 532kmph!!!!

Image
"If you run the numbers, you take the frontal area, the cd, the power, the gear ratio, the power curve... the simulations say 532 km/h (330 mph), or something like that," Koenigsegg said. "It's of course a theoretical number, but that's what simulation tells us. We don't really have ambition to drive that fast. The end result will be location, driver willingness, and car's capability. But theoretically, it looks extremely fast." Only 125 of jesko will be built which includes Koenigsegg jesko and jesko absolute in total, number of jesko and absolute will depend on customer choice. Engine Koenigsegg twin turbo aluminum 5,0 L V8, 4 valves per cylinder, flat-plane crankshaft, double overhead camshafts, dry sump lubrication Compression: 8.6:1 Bore: 92 mm Stroke: 95.25 mm Sequential, multipoint fuel injection with individual cylinder pressure sensors and back pressure sensors Closed loop individual combustion and lambda control, tw...

Image
This koenigsegg gemera is an extraordinary creation and its a piece of art for sure.  Mind boggling speed and its a "4" seater,3 cylinder with 600hp!!! + Electric motor with 1,100hp, total of 1700 horsepower!!     Specifications-  Combined power output of 1700 bhp Power output from the three motors – one for each rear wheel producing 500 bhp and 1000 Nm, and one E-motor on the crankshaft that produces an extra 400 bhp and 500 Nm to power the front wheels – add up to 1400 bhp as individuals and 1100 bhp when combined. In addition to the TFG’s 600 bhp (at 7500 rpm) and torque of 600 Nm (2000 rpm to 7000 rpm), the combined power output of the Gemera is 1700 bhp or 1.27 MW. The 800V battery pack Taking cues from the Regera, the Gemera’s 800V, 15 kWh battery will provide an amazing 900 kW of discharge and up to 200 kW of recharge. Every cell is carefully monitored for voltage, state of charge, health and temperature; and the cells are enclosed in a carbon ...
