Another Run at Worlds Fastest Car
An obscure American automaker now has the world’s fastest car
On Oct. 10, the reptilian SSC Tuatara hypercar posted an average speed of 316.11 mph while driving on a seven-mile stretch of two-lane Highway 160 outside Las Vegas. The result beat, by a large margin, two high marks set last year by Bugatti’s pre-production Chiron prototype (304.77 mph) and one that the Koenigsegg Agera RS set for production cars in 2017 (277.87 mph). Oliver Webb, the 29-year-old Englishman who drove the Tuatara, hit 301.07 mph on his first run and 331.15 mph on his second run in the opposite direction. The average of those times will count as the official fastest time. The record-breaking event was verified by two witnesses sanctioned by Guinness World Records. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N22JfNHiC1k |

And that on Michelin road tyre. Bugatti has always said that the Chiron was limited because of the tyres.
That's an amazing feat. |
