The SSC Tuatara continues to take steps towards showing the world just how fast, powerful – and good looking it can be on tarmac. Photo. © Drew Phillips Name: The Tuatara Legacy of performance born from SSC’s passion for speed The Tuatara is a testament to the positives in modern automotive engineering: form and function, speed so much freaking speed.  Design and Aerodynamics And then there’s America’s SSC, which is working on the even more futuristic looking Tuatara hyper car delivering some of the most spectacular and aerodynamically efficient styling we’ve ever seen. Indeed, Tuatara is the name of a New Zealand reptile and also stands for new life at SSC after all previous attempts resulted in creation out fiendishly fast supercars. The Tuatara was sculpture into in a way that creates the least amount of drag at one end and as much stability downforce you could reasonably hope for on the other when it comes to getting repeatedly socked with sound capital S. One of its many speed secrets is an astonishingly low 0.279 cd, achieved via styling (cab-forward tapered bodywork), branding iron design language etc., but more loudly through zero-gaps between panels so air flow goes especially easy over this bullet-bodied hypercar which couldn’t be any farther from hair-cutting cylindrical council garage style influence back shapes The front splitter, rear diffuser and active wing generate downforce both at low speeds to keep the car sucked into the ground as well as high speed relieve. Since the Tuatara is built out of carbon fiber, it weighs–almost nothing; reducing its center of gravity so that it can be quicker and nimbler while being generally better with fuel. The butterfly-style, dramatic doors reflect a futuristic feel and should provide easy ingress to the cabin.

Powertrain and Performance

Under the hood, is an all-new 5.9-liter twin-turbo V8 built in conjunction with Nelson Racing Engines that delivers a monstrous output of most likely over and above 1,750 bhp straight to the rear wheels via paddle-shifting seven speeds automatic! Of course you’ll need E85 ethanol fuel, but the net result is 1,750 horsepower with a conventional pump-gas tune of at least 91-octane just over “a mere” 1,350 horses); that total force makes this one if not THE most powerful production engine available today. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed automated manual transmission. Getting all of that electricity to the ground is no small feat, but this setup can launch a car from 0-60 mph in just half a second. The Tuatara punches its weight class from above, though with one of the quickest top speeds. In October, the Tuatara made history when it was clocked at an average speed of 316.11 mph (508.73 km/h) over two runs on a closed highway in Nevada to set a new production car world record meant for all vehicles sold from dealers with available records and registrations.

That’s backed up by a sophisticated suspension system for impressive handling and stability. That should equate to some death-defying stopping power, and for good reason: it includes carbon-ceramic brakes.

Interior and Technology

The interior of the SSC Tuatara is similarly luxurious as it is tech-heavy. Driver Mode Selector the Driver Mode Selector is a reconfigurable feature on the driver Focus cockpit, and offers customization display areas for different driving modes. Infotainment information is displayed on a digital instrument cluster, then touchscreen display does even simpler things like speed or RPMs to location-based diagnostics in nav-info. The interior of the R8 comes decorated with high-quality leather, Alcantara and carbon fibre worked into top-notch craftsmanship. The hold is good and control arms use multiple commands, so that the Tuatara must also be able to drive normally or at speeds. As a high-performance model, the Tuatara isn’t totally spartan but it can be fitted with an extensive range of custom options for some added comforts to better suit its discerning customers. Production & Exclusivity SSC North America will be building only 100 units of the Tuatara, so this is a very exclusive hyper car for which you can actually plunk down an order right now. Made-to-order, truly custom-built examples of new vehicles only with the buyer’s finger prints all over them; this is what a Tuataras VERTISEMENT The rarity of the car itself, coupled with how fast it can go… this is an ultra-desirable set of wheels.
