Although this allowed the official release of a speed record, the speed did not exceed the 500 km / h that I had driven this year, in an attempt to stop doubts and controversies.
Last October, the Shelby SuperCars (SSC) superdeported manufacturer will ensure that its SSC Tuatara launches a 316.11 mile speed hour (508.73 kilometers per hour), which positions its model as World’s fastest production ‘. Without embarrassment, however, doubts have been raised about the veracity of this record, mainly among Internet enthusiasts who have inconsistencies in the medicine and following of the coach.
Ate this controversy, Shelby SuperCars again tried to test the Tuatara y, although the brand of the year passed, the result was that it allowed to record a speed record, to register a speed of 282.9 mph (455.3 km / h), insures the company in a publication published by this school.
The new brand was launched on January 17 at the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds rehearsal track, at the Kennedy Espacial Center of Florida (EE.UU.). On this occasion, and in order to ensure that we can question the result, SCC will carry out the validation of the cargo of three companies that specialize in the field of velocity medicine: Racelogic, Life Racing and Garmin, to which the International Association of Carrasas de Millas (IMRA).
Where are my velos now?
At this opportunity, the Tuatara does not account for the 10 miles of track that the Nevada avenues encountered in October, with 4.3 miles of Florida slopes. This means that the sport has only 2.3 miles (3.7 kilometers) to accelerate, a quarter or five minutes that in its first test, and open 0.7 miles (1.1 kilometers) to reduce speed, explained the executive director of SSC, Jerod Shelby, in a dialogue with the portal Car and Driver.
For this career, in addition, to lie like the first time with British pilot Oliver Webb, winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2014, Shelby SuperCars pushes on to the collection of coach Larry Caplin, owner of Tattoo in question and with little experience in driving coaches at speeds of 321 km / h. On the other hand, on this occasion the manufacturer opted for a more flexible gearbox configuration to compensate for the lower acceleration distance.
Shelby makes sure that these results are just a “progress bar” of the maximum SSC speed tests on the truck to log a higher altitude record, while admitting that the Tuatara can slow down to 300 mph (482 km / h) . As for the October results, the company does not have a clear explanation: “We are trying to find out the dates, the things we will not see and the podiums we will see. We will not go into details exactly.
With this latest brand, the SSC Tuatara is taking the throne of speed between series production coaches, as of 2017 the Koenigsegg Agera RS has a speed of 277.9 mph (447 km / h). Although in August 2019 the superdeported Bugatti Chiron increased 304.77 mph (490.48 km / h), only to reach a direction, and to be held as an official record the speed of the race should be obtained through the ‘sprints’ in opuestation directions, at the end of the effects of the cara and cola wines.
