The
SC/8T Ultimate is one of a select breed of 1000+ horsepower
road legal cars, the Bugatti Veyron would be another option.
SSC (standing for Shelby Super Car, nothing to do with Carroll
Shelby) is an American company, and as such the car uses an
American engine, a supercharged
6 litre GM V8 to be precise. This force fed steroidal engine
is capable of launching the Ultimate SC/8T to 60 miles an hour
in just 2.9 seconds.
Widespread use of lightweight composite materials such as carbon
fiber and titanium mechanical components no doubt helps
the sprint.
Like the Lamborghini Murcielago the SC/8T Ultimate
has upward swinging scissor doors.
If the 1047 bhp found in the Ultimate SC/8T is too much for
you then consider the SSC Aero SC/8T.
