The Shelby Supercars(SSC) Tuatara is ready to make its mark in the world of hypercars. Could it earn the title of the fastest road-legal hypercar? Time will reveal the answer, but it possesses the capabilities to achieve this and more.
After a decade of anticipation, the SSC Tuatara seems to be on the path to glory. Enthusiasts have eagerly awaited its arrival, and the wait seems to be nearing an end.
Equipped with a 5.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, this exceptional car is expected to deliver a staggering 1,300 hp on regular fuel. The power output can go up to 1,750 hp when running on E85 fuel.
Packed with cutting-edge engineering features, such as a computerized manual transmission with multiple power modes, the SSC Tuatara is set to be a rare gem, with only 100 units planned for production, each priced at $1.6 million.
Customers will have a range of customization options to tailor their Tuatara to their liking. The company has already received orders that will keep them occupied until mid-2020.
The Tuatara, a brainchild of the talented designer Jason Castriota, exudes elegance inside and out. Its aerodynamic design, inspired by fighter jets, showcases unparalleled craftsmanship. Constructed on a lightweight carbon monocoque, the Tuatara weighs just 2,750 lb.
