Engineering the SSC Tuatara: The New Worlds Fastest Production Car!
Summary
Designed and Manufactured by USA based SSC North America, The Tuatara (pronounced too-a-tar-a) has recently taken the title of “World’s Fastest Production Car” with a top speed of 316 mph! In recent years the title of “World’s Fastest Production Car” has changed hands quite frequently with brands like Koenigsegg and Bugatti battling for supremacy. The Tuatara’s origin was a “blank sheet of paper,” designed by the SSC team as a R&D testing platform, with a singular goal: ultimate speed. The SSC team then took this great looking design and fine tuned it to make it have an extremely low drag-coefficient, while also providing adequate downforce at speed. Unfortunately this run is being disputed, and was not approved by the sanctioning body due to an issue with the GPS system responsible for verifying the telemetry, and the car not being homologated for road use.
