Shelby Super Cars

Shelby SuperCars Inc. (SSC) is an American automobile manufacturer founded in 1999 [cite web |title=About SSC |url=http://www.shelbysupercars.com/about.php ] by owner Jerod Shelby (no relation to car designer Carroll Shelby). The company is based in West Richland, near the Tri-Cities, Washington and specializes in the production of supercars.

They build the SSC Aero, equipped with a twin turbocharged General Motors pushrod engined V8s. Its turbocharged 6.35 liter (387.2 cubic inch) V8 produces convert|1183|bhp|abbr=on, which makes it the most powerful production car in the world, beating the Bugatti Veyron's convert|987|bhp|kW PS|abbr=on|lk=on. On September 13th, 2007, the "Ultimate Aero" also took the title of fastest production car from the Bugatti Veyron.

In order for the achievement to be official under the Guinness World Recordsguidelines, a vehicle testing for the top speed record must race down the course, turn around, and make a second pass in the opposite direction within one hour. The vehiclestop speedis calculated by averaging the top speeds of each pass in order to negate any favorable road or weather conditions. The Ultimate Aero posted a top speed of convert|257.11|mph|km/h|2|abbr=on on its first pass and convert|254.55|mph|km/h|2|abbr=on on its return pass to set the new top speed record of 256.15 mph (412.233 km/h). The speeds, on a closed stretch of highway in Washington State, were recorded using a series of satellites and several on board sensors, with independent firm Dewetron on hand to monitor progress. Studies have shown that the car could even go faster. NASA put the car in a wind tunnel testing facility and proved that the SSC Aero could be aerodynamically stable enough to reach speeds up to convert|273|mph|km/h. huh |post-text=()Fact|date=August 2008
