Although admittedly unfamiliar with the world record breaking SSC Ultimate Aero, New Rochelle's very own, Jay Leno, gets to pop a squat in the latest episode of the self titled, Jay Leno's Garage.
The SSC Ultimate Aero is a supercar in the most vulgar sense. With the NASA wind tunnel tested vehicle capable of a theoretical top speed of 273 mph (439 km/h), and its 6.3-liter twin turbo V8 producing 1,183 bhp (882 kW), the Ultimate Aero maintains the title of world's fastest production car at a confirmed 257.15 mph (413.84 km/h). However, the disgusting part is not the $620,000 price tag but rather its full DOT street legal status in the U.S.
SSC's owner Jerod Shelby gives Jay a walk around and divulges development work on a 220 mph 4-door sedan plus a green project which refers to the recently announced Ultimate Aero EV, the first 100% green supercar to break the record for the fastest electric car in the world.
