The 2008 Ultimate Aero TT is the latest version by Shelby Super Autos . When the Final Aero TT first made its debut many industry insiders felt this auto would break the world speed record for production autos of 253.2 mph, set by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It wasn’t long before they were proved right. The Final Aero TT reached an unique speed of 256.15 mph, making this lightweight, aerodynamic automobile officially the “World’s Fastest Production Car.”

Achieving incredible power thru its twin turbo V-8 engine, it produces 1,183 h.p. And 1,094 ft.-lbs. of torque. The speedometer on the car goes up to 260, and in sixth gear at 7,200 r.p.m ; the TT’s performance stats state that it exceeds 286 mph.
The Final Aero TT does zero to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds and 1 / 4 mile in less than ten seconds. It’s got a 422-pound V-8 engine with an aluminum block and heads. The four-wheel rocket redlines at 7,200 revs per minute, and the vehicle’s horsepower is an awesome 1,183 at 6,950 rpm. It is a rear-wheel drive with a mid-engine position. The lightweight body is formed of carbon fiber, composites, and a steel space frame. It sets on Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, nineteen by 9.5 inches in the front and 20 by thirteen inches in the rear. The ride is controlled by unsymmetrical length higher and lower A-arms coil-over springs in the front and rear.

This politically incorrect beast vehicle- with a four-inch ground clearance- has a refined side too. The interior is both clean and chic. Even the roll bar boosts the lines of the cabin by matching the car’s seats. There also a top-end sound system and a DVD navigational system. It comes in eleven heavenly colours, including yellow, purple and plum.
The Shelby name has been related to classic, super-fast cars for decades. However, Carroll Shelby, the man who made the world think of cars instead of reptiles when referring to cobras or vipers, is not related whatsoever to Jarod Shelby, the owner of SSC and the designer of the Final Aero TT. Perhaps there is just something about that name?.
