SSC Ultimate Aero is a mid engined high performance sports car from the house of SSC North America, elaborately known as Shelby Super Cars. This made in America sports car once made it to the Guinness Book of World Records, achieving the coveted feat of being the world’s fastest car in production. Prior to Aero, this title was held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. To surpass Bugatti’s record, it had to achieve an astonishing speed of 256.19 miles/hour (412.29 Km/h). But the engineers from SSC claim that their improved ‘Aero’ models can actually break their own record and easily reach up to the top speed of 270 miles/hour. The SSC was founded by Jerod Shelby and the idea of Aero was also conceived by him. In the beginning, he started with building replicas of high end sports car using his innovative ingenuity. Ultimate Aero is still in production, and you can be its owner by shelling out around $650,000, which is a hefty price indeed.
