Thread: SSC Ultimate Aero: Shelby Super Cars

Very nice

the 9ff gt9 was slower than the SSC but the gt9r 'should' be faster - but has yet to be 'verified'.

Record-Breakers
The 9ff outfit has hammered seven top-speed records into submission with heavily modified Porsches since the company's inception in 2001, including the title for the world's fastest cabriolet. But company principal Jan Fatthauer, formerly an apprentice at Brabus, always wanted to go further, and so after three years of development his own GT9 supercar was unleashed last year and touched 254 mph on an oval course, 2 mph faster than the Bugatti Veyron.

It would comfortably have become the world's fastest production car, but the SSC Ultimate Aero TT went and spoilt it all with a run that was 1 mph faster. So the R version of the 9ff GT9 — intended initially to be a track-only machine in the vein of the Ferrari FXX — has suddenly become street-legal in a bid to beat the record and satisfy customer demands. Only 20 of these cars will see the light of day, and each one will be different.

Glad you shared the info on the 9ff vs. the SSC and the Veyron. That is good info to know.

I like how there's the SSC, two Veyrons, and a XJ220 in one shot.

I agree Nick! It's literally a "million dollar video" (actually it's a multi-million dollar video, lol)
