The 2008 Ultimate Aero TT is the most recent version by Shelby Super Autos . When the Final Aero TT first made its debut many industry insiders felt this auto would break the world speed record for production vehicles of 253.2 mph, set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It wasn’t long before they were proved right. The Final Aero TT reached an unprecedented speed of 256.15 miles per hour, making this lightweight, aerodynamic vehicle officially the “World’s Fastest Production Car.”
Achieving amazing power via its twin turbo V-8 engine, it produces 1,183 hp And 1,094 ft.-lbs. Of torque. The speedometer on the car goes up to 260, and in 6th gear at 7,200 revs per minute ; the TT’s performance stats confirm that it surpasses 286 mph.
The Ultimate Aero TT does zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.78 seconds and 1 / 4 mile in less than ten seconds. It’s got a 422-pound V-8 engine with an aluminum block and heads. The four-wheel rocket redlines at 7,200 revs per minute, and the car’s h.p. is an incredible 1,183 at 6,950 rpm. It’s a rear-wheel drive with a mid-engine position. The lightweight body is created 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 20 by thirteen 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 wrong beast vehicle- with a four-inch ground clearance- has a refined side too. The interior is both clean and stylish. Even the roll bar boosts the lines of the cabin by matching the vehicle’s seats. There also is a high-end sound system and a DVD navigational system. It comes in eleven heavenly colors, including yellow, purple and plum.
The Shelby name has been associated with classic, super-fast autos for decades. However, Carroll Shelby, the person who made the world think about autos rather than reptiles when referring to cobras or vipers, is not 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?.
