The four-cam 6.8-litre twin-turbo SSC Tuatara engine will rev to 9,000rpm and make 1,350bhp. Even the blowers are SSC's own design. The SSC Tuatara is already doing these numbers on Shelby's dyno. Unlike the current car, which has some steel in the structure, the new SSC Tuatara will be all-carbon except for aluminium crash rails beyond the wheels front and back. Its transmission is the same all-SSC unit that has been proved in the current car, with the same triple-disc carbon clutch, but it'll have the option of sequential paddle shifting.
The dry weight will fall to 1,200kg-odd. Putting the power-to-weight ratio, even with fluids and the quivering driver strapped aboard, north of 1,000bhp per tonne.
The American SSC Tuatara (SSC Next Generation) is set to take the world by storm as the world's fastest supercar in existence!!!!
