  • The SSC Tuatara is officially the world's fastest production car. With an average two-way speed of 282.9 mph over 2.3 miles, SSC broke the standing record of 278mph. This happened last week while testing at JBPG in Kennedy Space Center on SSC's quest to break 300 mph.

    A billionaire needs to build a track with a massive straight for these cars to run on. Seems like it could be a money maker. Owners could fly in their cars and V max them. Nice work SSC

The fastest cars on Earth are V8 powered.V8s hold the records for everything.. most powerful car engine in the world.the fastest acceleration 0-350+in only a1/4 miles time does that in the mid 3 second range. The American V8 is the Undisputed King of Performance HP and Torque. Nothing from Europe can even come close to the power levels of a fully built big V8. Nothing absolutely nothing.

      It’s not the power that matters so much it’s the drag. If you start getting air up under the vehicle you’re going to get major lift and it’s going airborne. It’s a delicate balance of power and downforce that the engineers have to deal with.

      @Omar Williams My point was that he probably did a very smart thing, to start braking before the planned spot, whether from concerns about how the braking zone was chosen, or instinctive fear of death. Braking distance/problems from 300 to 0 might have become a different animal than 270 to 0, and doing it from 286 was a big enough jump for one run versus another, until he has a better idea of how the braking phase changes at increasingly higher speeds.. Hitting 300 or the previously claimed 331 and then having tires or brakes fail to stop the car wouldn't be good. Building up the speed a little more each run, rather than going for a big jump in speed, might avoid a disaster by having things go a bit wrong but not fatally wrong as you approach whatever the disaster speed is. There is pretty surely a speed at which something stops working as hoped. He took enough chances as it was. Having fans wish he kept his foot on the pedal longer, isn't a good enough reason to do so.
      Neil Armstrong was asked 1000 times whether he was scared going to the moon. Usually the answer was about confidence in equipment and training, focus on mission, that a little fear is useful for being super alert to danger, etc. But one time his answer was more along the lines that "Putting my pink little body into a tin can on top of a huge rocket full of propellant, with some parts made by the lowest bidders, and then leaving Earth way behind, was of course scary. No matter how good you are at flying it, you can't be sure you'll make it home to the wife and kids OK. We knew it, but loved doing the job we signed up for." I'm paraphrasing, but definitely remember the "pink little body" part as a direct quote, which I cannot now find the source of.

      @@EfficientRVer I'm not disagreeing with you, but in these scenarios most braking is done by the aero above 200mph. Wheel braking above those speeds is generally unsafe outside of purpose-built race cars. Both drag racing & land speed tests use chutes to slow down to a safer speed to use wheel brakes.

So 331 isn't out of the realm of possible. When I saw the acceleration from 276-286 it took my breath away. I've never seen acceleration like that at speeds 100mph slower not to mention broaching 300. A great run a great car.

      - well in regard to what _you_ mean by dinosaurs***; _not so_ their ancestral Rhynchocephilian lineage _did_ , but extant tuataras have been around about 20 my, dinosaurs (as you mean) died out about 65 mya
