2007 SSC Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo for sale
Getting tired of the staid supercars sitting in your garage? Now is your chance to own the Guinness-verified world's fastest car, the SSC Ultimate Aero which was clocked at an average two-way speed of 255.83 mph - besting both the Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg CCX. Motorcars of Las Vegas, the sole distributor of the Ultimate Aero, has chassis #SSC-07-004 on its showroom floor ready for its first owner. This is the first one they have had for immediate delivery, and there are only 15 miles on the odometer. The twin-turbo V8 mounted amidships puts out 1183 horsepower and 1094 lb-ft torque. Other features include a full carbon fiber body, navigation system, back-up camera, and a front lift system to clear speed bumps. If this particular one doesn't suit your taste, you can also commission one to your own specifications.

It looks like a kit car. Not nearly as impressive as an S7, Veyron, CCX, or Carrera GT.

Agreed, this thing screams kit car. Compare that interior with the Zonda's.

you are so correct the ccx or veyron look like they were created through a lot of R&D and this one looks like its made in some ones garage. on my blog i made a post about the ccxr http://www.ccxblog.com which looks awesome

The exterior looks ok for a kit-car, but they definately skimped on the interior. I wonder what the price is.
Also, it reminds me of "GTM Supercar" from FFR a little bit.

Can you say yyyyiiiikkkeeeeessss! 1000 lb torque in a light as heck car....hope that body's bolted on tight! The back-up camera thing gave a chuckle though...save those for the gargantuan SUV drivers, you know who you are, I've seen you make those 20 point back-up turn! LOL

That's the interior? Oh. My. God.

No one will be able to see the interior as you pass them going 250 mph. A few sonic notes from the engine will tell the world it's no kit car. Wow.

Sure...but...at some point you're going to want to take someone else for a drive...then spend 10 minutes saying things like "yeah...but it's really fast so it's ok" when they won't stop talking about how the inside of their Kia Spectra is much nicer, and they're not being sarcastic at all.

Good point. Maybe the manucturer assumed you would just turn it over to your interior decorator?

People give me a hard time over Nissan Skyline GT-R's and federal motor vehicle safety standards, and then I see cars like this.
No airbags , probably no other safety equipment. No way to meet 208 or 214 standards. Small volume manufacturer status only gets you so far.

Nice Sean Morris of MotoRex and Ultimate Street Car Challenge fame.

how can people even compare the veyron and this?

They can't.
I remember thinking when I first saw this "wow, the Veyron is fast, but this is actually possibly a tad faster, maybe I can give it an ounce of credit", then I read the comments about it's interior, and after seeing it's interior... I'd rather drive a Chevrolet Aveo than this.

Sooooooooo ugly.

So much better looking than a Veyron. I don't care about the interior. Send me one and I promise I won't complain until I pull that door down on my head when I try to get out of the way-too-low-for-me car.

Twice the cylinders, twice the number of turbo's... and the Veyron still makes less power.

^^^
but i wonder how long you could drive this before it breaks down?
Sean Morris 1:50PM (12/15/2007)
Can someone explain how this can be a "production car".
I dont see an EPA certificate of conformance. They claim a 1 year warranty on powertrain . Nothing on emissions equipment ? Maybe they just omit that, are ignorant of it, or its not important enough. I'd like to see the EPA Certificate of Conformance on the engine. I wonder if they have the required 5 year / 50,000 mile warranty on all emissions related equipment.
I'd like to see the NHTSA/DOT exemptions on the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards they don't meet.
I see they assign a VIN number, but anyone can get that from the SAE.

I would like to know too. My searches come up with nothing.
