    SSC Announces Limited Production of Five Ultimate Aero XT's

    SSC North America, the American supercar manufacturer and creator of the Guinness World Record breaking Ultimate Aero, is retiring the Ultimate Aero. To celebrate its run, SSC is launching a special final edition Ultimate Aero XT to enthusiasts worldwide. This limited, extreme edition will utilize some key assemblies that will be featured in the upcoming revolutionary Tuatara.

    "The demand for us to deliver additional Ultimate Aero's has been overwhelming," says Jerod Shelby, Founder, Lead Designer and CEO of SSC. "We have just raised the bar again by adding some of the cutting-edge elements from our Tuatara, to this very small production run of Ultimate Aero XT's."

    These five very unique, collectable Ultimate Aeros will be classified as the 2013 Ultimate Aero XT. Each 2013 Ultimate Aero XT will feature a 1300 horsepower version of the Tuatara power plant, 7-speed Tuatara paddle shift and the Tuatara cooling, fuel and braking systems.

    The aggressive paint scheme with colors chosen by the customer will never be used again on an Ultimate Aero or Tuatara. It certainly will stand apart from any other Ultimate Aero in the market today.

    After the 5 limited edition Ultimate Aero XT's are sold, production of the Ultimate Aero will permanently conclude.

    The 7 Speed transmission would appear to be the most significant update, no?

    I don't see it as any different from all the versions of the Veyron or the Mustang.

    In this case it's hilarious, but it's nothing new or unique to the automotive industry.

    You are all wrong.

    This is the brilliantest car ever made.

    Probably.

    "we couldn't sell the last five ultimate aero's so we're retrofitting some tuatara stuff to them and look tornadoes"

    According to one of our former members this car is apparently better than the Bugatti Veyron, a car which is built by British people - despite being of French-German origins - who are the slaves of an individual named Gay Homo.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    In all seriousness, I am disappointed by this. I thought they had really stepped up their game with the Tuatara and were actually nearing legitimacy as a carmaker.

    I think it's more to move old stock.

    After the Tuatara, who in their right mind would buy one of these?

    The question is, is the Tuatara actually available at all?
