America’s SSC aims to better Bugatti Veyron Super Sport’s Top Speed of 268 MPH

by Alex

The race between Shelby and Bugatti for making the fastest car has always been on. With Bugatti placing the mark at 268 mph with its Veyron Super sport car, America’s Shelby Super Car for sure is not going to be sitting quiet.

The first to set the limit of top sped was SSC with its record of 225 mph set in 2007 after defeating the Veyron. The car was an Aero TT supercar and the engine produced 1,183 hp. Later on Bugatti took over the spot.

SSC while sending congratulatory notes for Bugatti has stated that by end of summer they would be coming up with a faster one again.

The statement from SSC reads thus: We’ve been working on a new project to debut before the end of the summer. Not much can be said at this time except that we’ll be upping the ante on all fronts. Having famed American designer Jason Castriota as our lead design enables SSC to reflect its engineer and performance in its aesthetics. It’s impossible for us to be more thrilled about having him on board and we’re anxious to show the world what we have up our sleeve.

Castriota is the man behind the designs of the SSC. It is up to him alone to provide a counter to the one single criticism that SSC has against it, that of not having a design that’s dramatic or gives a feeling of a premium model. After all Castriota has been the master mind behind the Bertone Mantide, Pininfarina P4/5 and Maserati GranTurismo.
