US hypercar maker SSC has achieved a 295mph peak speed in its 1750bhp Tuatara -
Following intense controversy surrounding the legitimacy of 2020’s claimed 331mph run, and a legitimate 282.9mph two-way average last year that made it officially the world’s fastest production car, the hypercar has now achieved a 295mph top speed.
The attempt took place at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a 2.3-mile stretch of tarmac, and unlike the first run, the car was fitted with dual VBOX GNSS data recording systems from Racelogic alongside a Life Racing GPS to ensure accuracy. To verify the legitimacy of the run, SSC also invited one of the biggest critics of the first, Apex Nuerburg's Robert Mitchell, to oversee the attempt – Racelogic technician Mitchell Townsend was also in attendance.
On May 14th 2022, car collector Larry Caplin achieved a 295mph peak speed in his very own SSC Tuatara, exceeding the 286.1mph peak he achieved in January 2021. This comes with a caveat, though. A two-way average is required for top speed records to negate the effects of variables such as wind and surface inconsistencies, so although this speed stands it in good stead, the previous 282.9mph average is still the only official top speed that’s able to be put into the record books.
