Racelogic On Call for SSC Tuatara s Second Record Run, Clocks 282 9 MPH Average

autoevolution 27 Jan 2021, 14:58 UTC · by In October 2020, the SSC Tuatara hypercar was happily crowned by its maker as the world’s “ fastest production vehicle.” The joy was short lived as controversy quickly arose following the reveal of the 316.11-mph (508.73 kph) average between two runs in opposite directions. 44 photos As the Internet madness snowballed into a full-blown skirmish against the company, SSC North America Jerod Shelby promised to organize a second world record attempt as soon as possible. That time was last week, while the 2020 SSC Tuatara was undergoing testing at the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds (aka the legendary Shuttle Runway at the Kennedy Space Center) in Florida.

SSC Tuatara hits 283mph during testing for 300mph+ run

A few months ago, American tuners SSC sparked outrage for allegedly falsifying the speed of its Tuatara hypercar during its attempt at breaking the production car land speed record. Now, the company is back and it’s still focussed on passing the 300mph barrier. The firm’s engineers are currently working on piecing together a more accurate timing system, using equipment from Garmin, Racelogic and the International Mile Racing Association. The Tuatara has set a two-way average speed of 282.9mph during its preliminary runs – and, at that speed, it has already broken the official “fastest production car” record of 277.9mph, which was set by the Koenigsegg Agera RS in 2017. But, the Bugatti Chiron SuperSport recently had a bite at the cherry, too, setting a speed of 304.77mph.

Future Volkswagen Cars Will Handle Like A Bugatti

This could be an exciting new era for VW compact passenger cars. The Bugatti Chiron has a reputation for its incredible straight-line acceleration and record-breaking top speed. But with the introduction of the Chiron Sport, it can now also be honed around a track. Its more agile handling was helmed under the direction of Bugatti s Head of Technical Development, Stefan Ellrott. He also helped develop the record-breaking Chiron Super Sport 300+ and the extreme Bolide Concept, as well as the Divo and Centodieci. In a surprise move, VW Group has announced Ellrott is leaving Bugatti to become Chief Technology Officer for Compact Vehicles at Volkswagen Passenger Cars. In his place, Gregor Gries, the previous Head of Powertrain Development at Bugatti, will lead the Technical Development department at Bugatti.
