Your Questions About Thrust Ssc 0-60

Mary asks…

What is the fastest car in the world?

timreeves1043 answers: I’m not sure what the best car ever made is, but the fastest “car” in the world is the twin jet-engined Thrust SSC, which set the world land-speed record at 763 mph. I see some already know the fastest fastest street-legal production car in the world to be the SSC Ultimate Aero. It has 1183 hp, 1094 lb-ft. Torque, goes from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds, and has an estimated top speed of 270+ mph, although only about 257.41 mph was achieved on the 2½-mile-long road. SSC plans to make an attempt for the Ultimate Aero to achieve its true top speed sometime in the future on a longer road. In my opinion, the Ultimate Aero looks coller than the Veyron. Others disagree. However, the price of the Aero’s approximate $650,000 price tag compared to the Veyron’s $1.3 million+ shows a large difference. This comes partly because the Veyron was built more as a luxury car that’s really fast, while the Ultimate Aero was designed as more of a sports car/supercar. The Veyron has some more sophisticated machinery, such as its airbrake/wing and other interior things, but interestingly enough, it lacks a touchscreen infotainment system, while the Ultimate Aero has one. If the Veyron didn’t have around 1000 hp and have all-wheel drive, it wouldn’t

be anywhere near as fast as it is, because it weighs a lot. Koenigsegg and Bugatti have to fight for the “second fastest” title, with cars such as Koenigsegg’s CCXR and CCXR Edition and Bugatti’s famed Veyron. Recently, someone said that Bugatti will end production of the Veyron with a GT model with more horsepower and a top speed of 260, making it the fastest car in the world again. However, even if that is correct, I doubt it would beat the Ultimate Aero, since the full potential of the car has yet to be unleashed, and is much lighter than the Veyron. But in case the Veyron GT (if it is to be made) beats the Ultimate Aero, SSC will likely just turn up the boost on their car, as it is only running 14 p.s.i. Right now. And the incredible claims that the Barabus TKR can accelerate from 0-60 in 1.67 seconds and has a top speed of 270 mph HAVE YET TO BE VERIFIED, so for the moment those claims are only rumors. If they are verified, the Ultimate Aero will likely still have a higher top speed, but if not, a simple increase of boost should fix that. Headline: “SSC makes ‘World’s Fastest Car’ again by boosting Ultimate Aero’s horsepower to 1250 hp” or something like that. Wouldn’t that be rather funny?

Whats the fastest car in the world ?

timreeves1043 answers: For cars that are available on the market, the SSC Ultimate Aero is considered the fastest by the Guiness Book of World Records (it was clocked at 257 mph). The Bugatti Veyron was clocked at 253, but it went 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, while it took the SSC 2.7 seconds. If you’re talking about any car, the Thrust SSC has the land speed record at 763 mph, but the thing is basically a jet on wheels. You won’t see it rolling down the highway any time soon.

timreeves1043 answers: It depends. Are you asking “What is the fastest street-legal production car?” Then the answer is the SSC Ultimate Aero, which has 1183 hp, gets from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds, and has a claimed top speed of more than 270 mph, although only about 257 mph was reached. SSC says the road was too short to reach the car’s true top speed. A possible future “#1 Fastest Car”, the Barabus TKR has a claimed top speed of 270 mph, and a 0-60 time of 1.67 seconds, but neither of these claims have yet to be verified. Also, the Bristol Fighter T has a claimed top speed of 270 mph, but is electronically limited to 225, and the speed of 270 has not been confirmed. Several of the Koenigseggs, such as the CCXR Edition, may hold some kind of top speed record, and at least come in second place (beating the Bugatti Veyron), but a top speed attempt has yet to be made by the Swedish company. If you’re asking “What is the fastest “car” of all?” then the answer is the Thrust SSC, which holds the land-speed record and reached 763 mph.

Sharon asks…

what is the maximum speed achieved by a car in world?

timreeves1043 answers: Highest top speed: Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – 431 km/h (268 mph).[25][26] Highest top speed (naturally aspirated engine): 1992-98 McLaren F1 – 391.23 km/h (243 mph) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_superlatives#Top_speed Hennessey Venom GT may top 270 mph… Hennessey Venom GT: 260 mph (418 km/h), 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, has a 6.2-liter LS9 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8 Engine producing 1200 hp, has a price tag of $950,000. The Venom GT has yet to be tested and proven, but could possibly hit a top speed of 275 mph. This might just be the Veyron Super Sport’s closest competitor!” http://www.thesupercars.org/fastest-cars/fastest-cars-in-the-world-top-10-list/

t depends on what you consider a car though…the fastest top speed of any non-production automobile was the sound barrier breaker…Thrust SSC…763 mph.. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81CX-Vw3JpU “ThrustSSC holds the World Land Speed Record, set on 15 October 1997, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first car to officially break the sound barrier.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThrustSSC
