Overview |
SSC is an American supercar company founded in 1998 by automotive enthusiast, Jerod Shelby. SSC's headquarters in Tri-Cities, Washington, is also the hometown of Mr. Shelby and home to his dream. Fueled by his passion for racing and automotive culture SSC's success is a true representation of the American Dream. Competing with the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg (to name a few), SSC has and continues to exponentially accelerate in its development and production of world class supercars. They built the SSC Aero, a kit car based on a Pontiac Fiero spaceframe chassis, equipped with a twin turbocharged pushrod engined V8s. Its turbocharged 6.35 litres (388 cu in) V8 produces 1,287 bhp (960 kW; 1,305 PS), which made it the most powerful production car in the world, until the arrival of Koenigsegg One:1 (1,341 bhp (1,000 kW; 1,360 PS)) in 2014. On September 13, 2007, the "Ultimate Aero" took the title of fastest production car. The Ultimate Aero has a top speed of 412 km/h (256 mph). |
