The SSC Tuatara is the world's fastest production car
A new king has climbed to the top of hypercar hill. On Saturday, October 10th, a seven-mile, sun-baked, wind-swept stretch of Highway 160 outside of Pahrump, Nevada was transformed into the high-speed runway from which SSC North America’s 1,750 HP hypercar, the SSC Tuatara, made a pair of record-setting runs in the company’s quest to reclaim its title of “world’s fastest production vehicle.”

Where the name from, I know tuatara is a nz lizard, dinosaur lookalike, slow as, 🦎🦎🦎🦎🤣🤣
Bad ass car ..
💪👍
It would be very interesting to know how that name was obtained. Was it an original North American title garnished from their history. Or, was it a misappropriation of another culture's property? Yep, you got it. Misappropriation of another culture's property wins the point.
1.9 million dollars for a vehicle that'll be worth about 5 million or more in about 10 years pretty good investment I'd say and the rich get richer
Shadow Speed Car.
But did you know… An actual Tuatara is thought to be the only species of dinosaur that didn't go extinct? It's quite a lizard-sized scaly reptile… which was on New Zealand's 5 cent coin till those got taken out of currency.
Ah, I didn't even know it was a top speed record. Thought it was about average speed over a long course… somehow.
These things don't get explained.
Top speed is a great record though, yes.
But would this car be any good around a track with corners?
I prefer my gt500
"Production" car.
Well they HAVE now.😂
Waiting for the Hennessey venom f5 to dessimate this fake record
I still prefer a red Ferrari. I think nothing can beat the look. Maybe slower , but more of an eye catcher
Dude I’m son is gonna make a car faster than this
I was just watching psych episode 5 wich is about cars and thought to myself what is the fastest car in the world and this came up🏎️🏎️
No ThE dEvEl SiX tEeN Is ThE fAsTeSt
All that money and only one windshield wiper? Most vehicles have TWO!
its only fast cuz Nelson racing engines built the motor
Tuatara vs the Hoonicorn…..aannnd GO
SSC is NOT the fastest production car. Do some research before making videos
all the youtube geniuses have debunked the story LMAO!!!!!
Fake ass record
Cars that only extremely wealthy men can afford…and how many of them are qualified to drive at such speeds. A penis extension is much cheaper and safer.
The record attempt is as fake as Donald Trump's concern for working class american. Did you all know that Jerod Shelby is unrelated to Carroll Shelby and the name of car company (Shelby supercar company) itself was disallowed on copyright grounds. So they call themselves SSC.
