SSC Tuatara Aims To Be Nurburgring King carbuzz.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from carbuzz.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The 1,750 HP SSC Tuatara might be going to the Nurburgring to push itself beyond ‘simple’ top speed records.
The $1.9 million-hypercar was the subject of a small scandal when it came to light that SSC had likely misrecorded its velocity and released a misleading video of an alleged record-setting speed run. The company has since gotten back on the high-speed horse, but it’s not limiting its efforts to top speed alone.
In an interview with Muscle Cars and Trucks, the company’s founder, Jerod Shelby, said he was thinking about a lap of the Nurburgring.
“We actually are looking at [running the SSC Tuatara at the Nürburgring],” Shelby told the outlet. “We’re talking to a group about Nürburgring, and that will be one of our next focuses after top speed.”
SSC founder Jerod Shelby recently said he was aiming to set a Nürburgring lap time with the SSC Tuatara, which is currently the fastest production car.
