Internet sleuths take down the SSC Tuatara's 316-mph speed record

America's Shelby Supercars has more or less abandoned its world's fastest car claim after eagle-eyed YouTubers pointed out a number of embarrassing, possibly costly discrepancies in its video of the SSC Tuatara making a claimed 316-mph two-way run.

American supercar SSC Tuatara just hit 331 mph on a NV highway and is now fastest production car in the world

There's a new king of the road.

I have asked my wife to get me one for Christmas but I suspect she's going to disappoint me.

Looks like a batmobile.
 
Look slightly like Koeniggseg with interior styling. However massive props to team.

Transcend your pauper ways and join the mixed bag of measurements of the British:

Cars are in MPH, length in Metres
Weight in Stones and ingredients in KG
Beer in Pints, spirits in ml and Litres
Milk in Pints, water in ml and litres
Cock measurement in Inch, building measurements in mm
And temperature is always measured in the God given Celsius, none of this Fahrenheit puffery
 
One of the tyre companies needs to build better tires specifically for this car, because the performance was clearly there to go even faster. Or maybe they just need a longer straight. ;)

I have no idea how to respond to this. Did you just #currentyear virtue signal over a car?

It's not really a virtue signal(not sure if you know what virtue signaling is). He is just saying your joke is old. In other words, applies more to an older Mustang(muscle car) than it does to anything really from the past decade.

The virtue signal bit was just internet words to tie in with the current year.

I wasn't being serious either. So lets park this (see what i did there? car puns) and get back to the car stuff.

The Bugatti Veyron used to chew through tyres every 20 mins at top speed, drink fuel like a freight-train and had two engines. Fair cop to the yanks for building this little beast. What's the RRP?

Your own mistake and apparently misunderstanding. Next time maybe think it through first?
 
Wouldn't even sit next towards the guy even if they paid me. If a tire pops its gg you.

But that's pretty darn insane tho.
 
It is so fucking cheesy that they get the hulk to drive the car wearing reflective lenses. Cool car but no cache, gooo McClaren!

Edit: it also makes me wanna hurl for cheesiness that they stretch the video when the car starts getting real quick -_-

Edit: okay the hulk is like the owner or something.

It was going down hill and didn't even set an official Guinness record like Bugatti with the Chiron SS.
Looks like the Koenigsegg Jesko will smoke it and do a proper Guinness run.
 
I remember seeing this car concept way back in like.. 2011? when I was a kid.

Now years later, today it broke the world record. Wow. I thought this car will never be real.
 
26 years ago or so me and a couple girls caught a ride with some guy who decided to go 225 km (140 mph) on the highway in his heavily modified sports car to show off to the hot the girls with me.. Was absolutely terrifying. I can't imagine 300 mph plus 😳

Nice design, but pointless speed. You'd never get that fast on the roads or a race track (unless you longed for death).

Yeah 300 would be pretty terrifying - fastest I've done is 135 in a Caterham R300 at Silverstone which was terrifying enough (cornering at 90 is pretty scary too). There's really nothing more fun than a fast car though - the scream of a well-tuned engine and that feeling of being glued to the seat by G-Force - that's basically crack for me.
