At less than $20 per horsepower!
It s no secret that the automotive world is currently in the throes of a power battle, with manufacturers constantly trying to flex their muscles. We ve become so used to big numbers from cars such as the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, which belts out up to 797 horsepower, and high-horsepower cars have never been more accessible, with a large number of street cats sporting over a thousand horses. To make it even easier to turn your Chevy Colorado into a quarter-mile savage, though, Nelson Racing Engines will sell you a turnkey 1,500-horsepower LS V8 engine. This is the very same company that produced a similar power plant that powered the SSC Tuatara in its controversial top-speed run late last year before it set a genuine record this year.
SSC Tuatara Hits 282.9 MPH In New Top Speed Run To Prove Naysayers Wrong ++ That s the average of two runs, with the absolute top speed being 286.1 mph.
With the Tuatara’s original top speed attempt tarnished by controversy, SSC North America had no other way but to redo the run. In an attempt to clear up any accusations about tampering with the video footage of the original run that took place last October, the hypercar marque now claims it has legitimately set a new top speed record during a second official run.
Rather than going back to the Nevada State Route 160 where the first attempt took place, SSC gained access to the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds at Space Florida s Shuttle Landing Facility. We’ve covered our fair share of top speed runs that took place at the former Space Shuttle runway in Florida, but no other car has gone faster than the Tuatara.
The SSC Ultimate Aero was the American hypercar that briefly stole the title of world’s fastest production car from the Bugatti Veyron in 2007, and now its successor has allegedly done the same. Following the intense controversy surrounding the legitimacy of last year’s claimed 331mph run, a second round of testing earlier this month saw the Tuatara achieve a two-way average of 282.9mph.
The attempt took place at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a 2.3-mile stretch of tarmac, and unlike the first attempt, the Tuatara was fitted with telemetry equipment from four different suppliers to ensure accuracy. As with most top speed runs, a two-way average is required to negate the effects of variables such as wind and surface inconsistencies, so although a peak speed of 286.1mph was recorded, the following 279.7mph run made for a two-way average of 282.9mph.
