First Production 2020 SSC Tuatara Appears At Philadelphia Auto Show With 1,750 HP

the first example of the limited 100-unit production

Provided that you fill the fuel tank with E85, you will have an impressive 1,750 horsepower available at your disposal, whereas running on 91 octane fuel will unleash 1,350 hp.

the company believes that it can break the 300 mph (483 km/h) barrier, so it could eventually challenge the 304.77 mph (490.484 km/h) record set by Bugatti last year.

331Mph / 532Km/h


Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: 304Mph / 490Km/h

 

[topspeedPT]

That is the average top speed of the SSC Tuatara after two consecutive high speed runs of 301.07 mph and 331.151 mph


Average: 316Mph / 508Km/h


Runs in opposite direction to "cancel" the wind effect.

Bugatti run was only in one direction.

Impressionante.......

Jason Castriota is the designer of the fastest production car on Earth: the 331MPH SSC Tuatara. He also designed the Ferrari 599, Maserati Gran Turismo, Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina, and Saab Phoenix.

Estes tipos são a Koenigsegg Norte-Americana e também fazem os seus próprios motores, o que é notável para um pequeno construtor, em parceria com uma empresa chamada Nelson Racing.

"Lamborghini Huracán Nordschleife 2.0" []

The SSC Tuatara claims to be the fastest car in the world, having recently hit a reported world record top speed for a production car of 331mph! However, the official video of the run poses many questions that introduce an element of doubt, so let's investigate and determine if everything is what it seems...

SSC report that on 10th October, 2020, the Tuatara in production specification form broke a top speed record with one direction at 331.15mph and the other at 301.07mph for an average of 316.1mph - beating the previous record of the Koenigsegg Agera RS by 38.2mph (from 277.9mph). The runs took place on the very same road, the Nevada Highway 160 from the intersection with Tecopa Road with the Tuatara's fastest direction heading South-East towards Las Vegas and the slow speed on the return.

After plenty of time spent viewing the videos and analysing the data presented from the run so far, let's calculate whether it's possible and investigate further into these numbers. There are a number of areas that don't quite add up; from the time travelling between the fixed medians on the road and the painted street markings, to the dashboard and telemetry data being out of sync, and also on the technical side with the engine and gearbox configuration.

A further topic of discussion not mentioned is the noticeable lag between the shift points recorded by the telemetry data which can simply be seen coming a few seconds delayed in comparison to the visual cues of the shift and rev counter, plus the audible sound of the RPMs.

This video asks questions, based on the information given so far. If there are answers, it would be fantastic to hear them and the accompanying data that lines up to prove that the record has indeed been broken.




Comparative Data:

Koenigsegg Agera RS 271.19mph in 5th Oct 2017
Average run speed of 277.9mph
Slower run SE, faster run NW of 284.55mph

SSC Tuatara 331.15mph on 10th Oct 2020
Average run speed of 316.1mph
Faster run SE, slower run NW of 301.07mph

Median Comparisons:

Start to 1st median
Distance: 1.69km / 1.05m
Time: 38.18s = 99.5mph avg

1st to 2nd median
Distance: 1.81km / 1.13m
Time: 22.64s = 179.7mph avg
Entry at 192mph, exit at 307mph

2nd to 3rd median
Distance: 2.28km / 1.42m
Time: 28.24s including a pause
Pause is 3:82
Total time: 24.40s = 209.5mph avg
Entry at 307mph, exit at 242mph

1st to 3rd
Total excluding the pause is 47.39s = 195mph
Entry at 194mph, exit at 242mph, 331mph along the way

DAMN!:sh)

A matemática parece sólida e a comparação dos vídeos Agera/Tuatara "fecha" o caso.
Acho que é o princípio do fim da SSC.

Depois há este pormenor:

O vídeo da Top Gear(e Driven Plus) apresenta velocidades GPS diferentes do SSC North America...apesar das imagens serem exactamente as mesmas. apr[]

 

[strecht]

O Schmeeeeeeeee fez.me lembrar um certo user aqui do fórum sobre uma volta no inferno verde de um Alfa...

 

[Fraga]

Até estou para ver como é que vão descalçar essa bota :sh)

 

[topspeedPT]

O artigo da MotorTrend dizia mesmo "Dumb controversy(...)" quando o li. Já alteraram o título []

 

[pontopt]

Ainda não me dei ao trabalho de pensar muito no assunto nem estou com muita vontade de perder tempo com isso, mas ainda se vai descobrir que o gajo que editou o vídeo, com a misturada toda de FPS que os vídeos têm (24, 25, 30 ...) meteu o vídeo mais rápido ou mais lento e deu esta confusão toda... Mas é como disse, não tenho pensamento lógico associado, é apenas um bitaite.

Dewetron Says It 'Neither Approved Nor Validated' The SSC Tuatara's Run

Austrian company Dewetron has said it was not directly involved in SSC's claimed 331mph run, despite claims in a press release from the latter
