The 2008 Final Aero TT is the newest version by Shelby Super Autos ( SSC ). 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 automobile officially the “World’s Fastest Production Car.”
Achieving amazing power via its twin turbo V-8 engine, it produces 1,183 h.p. 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 say it surpasses 286 miles per hour.
The Final Aero TT does 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.78 seconds and a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds. It’s got a 422-pound V-8 engine with an aluminum block and heads. The four-wheel rocket redlines at 7,200 r.p.m, and the automobile’s hp Is an awesome 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, 19 by 9.5 inches in the front and twenty by thirteen inches in the rear. The ride is controlled by unequal 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 inside is both clean and chic. Even the roll bar augments 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 11 heavenly colors, 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 of cars instead of 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. Maybe there is just something about that name?.
