Ultimate Aero The Fastest Production Car In The World
The 2008 Final Aero TT is the most recent version by Shelby Super Autos . When the Ultimate Aero TT first made its debut many industry insiders felt that this vehicle would break the world speed record for production autos of 253.2 mph, set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It wasn’t long before they were proven right. The Final Aero TT reached an unique speed of 256.15 mph, making this lightweight, aerodynamic car officially the “World’s Fastest Production Car.”
Achieving amazing power via its twin turbo V-8 engine, it produces 1,183 horsepower And 1,094 ft.-lbs. Of torque. The speedometer on the automobile goes up to 260, and in 6th gear at 7,200 r.p.m ; the TT’s performance stats state that it surpasses 286 mph.
The Final Aero TT does zero to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds and 1 / 4 mile in less than 10 seconds. It has a 422-pound V-8 engine with an aluminum block and heads. The four-wheel rocket redlines at 7,200 rpm, and the auto’s hp is an incredible 1,183 at 6,950 rpm. It’s a rear-wheel drive with a mid-engine position. The lightweight body is formed of carbon fiber, composites, and a steel space frame. It sets on Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, nineteen by 9.5 inches in the front and twenty by 13 inches in the rear. The ride is controlled by unsymmetrical length upper and lower A-arms coil-over springs in the front and rear.
This politically incorrect beast vehicle- with a four-inch ground clearance- has a refined side too. The inside is both clean and stylish. Even the roll bar augments the lines of the cabin by matching the car’s seats. There also a top-end sound system and a DVD navigational system. It comes in 11 heavenly colours, including yellow, purple and plum.
The Shelby name has been associated with classic, super-fast cars for years. However, Carroll Shelby, the man who made the world think about autos rather than reptiles when referring to cobras or rattlesnakes, isn’t related whatsoever to Jarod Shelby, the owner of SSC and the designer of the Final Aero TT. Perhaps there is just something about that name?.
