The SSC Tuatara’s Twin-Turbo V-8 Is a Work of Art

SSC originally recorded the highest speed in automobile production in 2007, but lost its title in the past 11 years. Now SSC seems to be ready to make a comeback

SSC originally recorded the highest speed in mass-produced vehicles equipped with Ultimate Aero TT in 2007, but has been listed by several challengers over the past 11 years.

We saw the concept of Tuatara several years ago, but since that time the renewal is rare. Fortunately, I will exhibit at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance next week. In order to promote, SSC was satisfied with Tuatara 's production response engine published by social media.

As SSC said, the power plant will outpace all previous expectations. More importantly, SSC said Tuatara "goes beyond other super sports cars competing for maximum speed and versatile performance."

This is truly proud. To fulfill that promise, Tuatara will need the highest and powerful Koenigsegg Agera RS which reached an amazing 277.9 mph last November.

Of course, to do this requires power, that is, much power. For this purpose, Tuatara will be equipped with a twin turbocharger V-8. This includes the Koenigsegg Agera RS unit operating at 0 liter and is considered a preferred configuration for many high-end performance models that generate up to 1,341 hp.

In contrast, Tuatara's V-8 displacement is 7 liters developed under the input of Nelson Racing Engines. Initially, the SSC block sprang up 1,350 hp and 1,280 lb-ft of torque and it was thought that Tuatara was enough to reach 60 mph in 5 seconds and 1/4 mile in 75 seconds. The maximum speed is expected to be 276 mph per hour

Tuatara's engine is a V-8 creature with a powerful aluminum square profile with adaptability and some exciting power. Originally it was reported that some turbochargers and dual boosters are running, SSC seems to be centered on turbochargers in recent motor tests. The "wide square" 6.9 liter assembly strongly redesigned the interior of the motor to accommodate strong anxiety. The power unit introduced torque of 1,350 drives and 1,280 lb. ft into the 91 octane pump fuel and the majority of management components were caught.

Of course, to do this requires power, that is, much power. For this purpose, Tuatara will be equipped with a V-8 with a twin turbocharger. It includes the Koenigsegg Agera RS unit operating at 5.0 liters, which seems to be a preferred configuration for many high-end, high-performance models that generate up to 1,341 hp. In contrast, Tuatara's V-8 displacement is 7 liters developed under the input of Nelson Racing Engines. Originally, the SSC block was thought to expel 1,350 horsepower and 1,280 pound feet of torque enough for Tuatara to reach 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, 1/4 mile in 9.75 seconds. The maximum speed is expected to be 276 mph per hour

In Tuatara, SSC's goal is 300 miles per hour. To achieve this goal, the new super sports car uses SSC's proprietary 5.9 liter supercharger V8 engine. The monster engine produces 1,750 horsepower with E85 ethanol and 1,350 horsepower with 91 octane gasoline. This power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission. Tuatara weighs 2,750 pounds and SSC claims that it is 0.27 drag coefficient than its competitors Hennessey Venom F 5, Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Agera.
