- SSC North America has reached another milestone in top-speed testing, surpassing the previous world record top speed set by the SSC Tuatara in January 2021.
American hypercar collector and Tuatara customer Larry Caplin piloted his SSC Tuatara with Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds at Space Florida’s LLF, Kennedy Space Center Merritt, Florida on May 14th, 2022, where he previously broke the speed record for world’s fastest production vehicle on the 2.3 mile stretch of runway. A top speed of 295.0 mph (474.8 km/h) was recorded by data and performance logging firm Racelogic with dual VBOX GNSS systems onboard the Tuatara, as well as a Life Racing GPS unit for additional data acquisition. Present during the top speed run was Racelogic technician Mitchell Townsend and independent analyst Robert Mitchell, ensuring extra levels of transparency and validation measures that SSC North America has integrated into its testing process. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
It was still accelerating when he stopped at 295MPH, be interesting to see how far it can go. Good job and way to fight back.
and accelerating pretty hard! Crazy
@John WickYT So you're saying you trust a cars speedo more than GPS units?! Lol
@John WickYT a speedo is a very close approximation of speed no exact especially where they measure it from so forget that
@John WickYT It does look like 289mph from the speedo.
@@tundaslug07 A genuine question, isn't it that a speedo should always display speeds higher than the actual speed of the car (GPS measured speed)?
This thing could definitely go faster with a longer stretch, It was still pulling at 295 mph! I believe it’ll be able to hit over 300 easily. The sound that engine makes is just glorious!
it'll go the 330 they showed the first time - they have the aerodynamics vs Hennessy
agree.
it can easily go above 300mph it can beat easily the supersport chiron 300+
Right away im wondering , when will there be a Nevada highway two way run?
300+ will be very hard for them to pull off, possible but not easy!
WOW!! There's no doubt that thing was going to break 300mph, she was still pulling pretty strong when he let off! Amazing achievement! Cheers!!
Love to see SSC team coming back. What a crazy hypercar. That seems like an easy +300mph car.
@@captain_context9991 Do you really think they haven't thought of this? Do you really think they're going to build a 300MPH car only to look over the very factors that make it legal for sale? Come on now. I know you a little man but you can do better.
@@captain_context9991 when was the last time you remember seeing any crash testing data from a Corvette?
what did bro just say
300mph is definitely possible by the looks of it now. Really cool to see the Tuatara expand its potential
the Chiron already did 304 smh
@@lylevaltz9307 It wasn't a production ready car
@@lylevaltz9307 that needed a 5.4 mile stretch and was still barely faster even though the ssc had a much shorter distance stop being a fanboy
@@ericship8383 jealous are we.
@@lylevaltz9307 lol if thats the game we are going to play the Ford GT went over 300 in just 1 mile
Congratulations for this achievement, guys!!! Amazing & powerful performance!!! And also a very stylish and beautiful design!!! I love SSC Tuatara 🙌
🙌
Hello bro and yes this car is amazing and I hope it sets a new wr speed
And the car is your pfp lol
Nice Cars
Yo,Agulia didn't you notice the speed Meyer of the car And the Meyer at right was different , car Meyer showing 289 while the other One was showing 294.5
295 in that short distance is absolutely mental!
I’m stoked for these guys! They got a bad rap after the last run. This car is an absolute beast.
😒 Meh... my stock 1979 Pinto could do that! I don't have it anymore, so you'll just have to take my word for it when I say that it COULD do 307mph, and not just 89mph like all my friends claim! 😁
@@HighlanderNorth1 until someone taps the back and suddenly you're wondering why you only see the sky.
@@HighlanderNorth1 the pinto explodes once it hits 50 mph
This car went from 200-295 almost 10 seconds faster than the Chiron.
Yeah that's what blew my mind watching it after 200mph. People don't realize how hard that is. After 200 it is like an elephant sitting on your car trying to stop it.
Yeah but Chiron is a heavy boy
@@Kacpernix weight doesn't matter for top speed (very much).
@@mitchellsteindler chiron has less power and more weight so makes sense
@@DanielSmith-hi2jw yeah...everything here makes sense. Less frontal area, more power, less weight.
Crazy to see Robert almost presenting this on official SSC youtube confirming this 300+ car. When what seems just a few months back he iniated the controversy behind their initial run. Anyways congrats SSC, car seems crazy.
And for that, all credit to ssc for not shying away but instead taking his findings on board, then being completely above board by utilising both Robert and official race logic staff to come back and do something I believe to be way more impressive than even the first run appeared to be .
@@anthonyrichard4633 I don't think they intentionally forged the last record judging by this video but who knows!
@@KRMG99 no they didn't intentionally forge it, why would they? they are a small company, and lying like that could crumple a company. Id say its Dewetrons fault
SSC is doing things as right as can be done here, totally transparent as always, even when things dont go right
@@devlintaylor9520 I hope so... But nonetheless it's really great they made things right here's to hoping they break 300mph real soon! 🍻
Just the thought at travelling on land at 295 mph is mind-blowing! What an exceptional achievement. 🏆
That’s incredible! The way it still pulls at the end says to me there’s still a lot more in it and it’s not anywhere close to the drag being a limiting factor yet. That’ll be a 305+ in my book, if not faster!
It goes 331
@@HuddtheBudd. Sorry to burst your bubble bud, but that was fake.
It wasn't ssc's fault tho, just a "mistake" by the guys calculating the speed of the car during it's run.
They cannot go any faster not bcz the engine but other limitations like tires, rims etc...After that one run they must replace many things. They have yet to invent those new tires that can withstand forces at 500 km/h. at those high speeds even +10 mph is a LOT to take in,
FYI Bugatti passed 305 mph barrier 4 years ago. 490 km/h
Shoutout to SSC team for the amazing work , the way how to car accelerate after 200 MPH can prove to us that the amount of engineering that went into this car is such incredible
Until 250mph I literally thought it was in kph it was accelerating that fast, this thing is mind blowing 💥huge congrats guys!
I thought EXACTLY the same thing, it didn't make any sense to me that it was accelerating that hard, it had to be kph, lol, damn impressive
Yes sir me too. That thing is crazy fast and can definitely top 300mph that’s a fact
It's in the USA so expect it to be in MPH 😄
@@boris001000 I'm in Australia 😅
How? That wouldve been Hella slow then for a 300 mph car
I feel that people are not giving SSC the credit they deserve, and also what they are doing is genuine. Great to see them continue to work hard and fighting back.
What American hypercar brands get the credit they deserve ever? lol
Genuine? SSC came out and said that the car never reached 331 mph or even 301 mph. They said the speedometer malfunctioned. But in reality they lied and got caught.
What do they deserve credit for? Lying about a record? Not being able to make another run after this one? A record can only be obtained if the car is run in both directions within a certain amount of time, this car clearly couldn't make the second run. It doesn't even qualify as an actual production car.
@@ammarsiddiqui1435 A) They don't hold any records. B) They admitted to lying about setting a record.
Bugatti make them a target 4 years ago passing 305 mph. 490 km/h barrier
..295MPH and we have lift off! The interior looks like your in something Batman would drive - amazing car!
The balls on this guy. I would let go at 220 on that short runway. It'll definitely do 300 plus
And this car need only 2.3 miles to achieve 295mph... Just WOW🔥🔥🔥

*Well done SSC. Seems like you have redeemed yourself and shut the haters. Car truly is a masterpiece.*
Back before I started my engineering degree I was drooling at photos of the Tuatara prototype. 11 years later here we are. How much time has come and gone since then. Congratulations to seeing a dream through to fruition. The dedication is more of an accomplishment then the speed it ends up going
If I put it on the Nevada straight it would definitely go over 300 mph
yeah we've seen how it turned out before...
@@SuperGeronimo999 if the car is in running order then yes it will go over 300mph and it's risky because 2.3 miles is small comparison to the 11 mile straight on route 160 nevada.
So that is where Robert is constantly at these days 🙂 Great work SSC, it sure does accelerate no stop, very impressive indeed.
@@captain_context9991 hey Captain, how do you come to this remarkable conclusion?
Or are you just a bot?
@@captain_context9991 what about the Czinger hyper car, the 3D printed one? It was shown in England, at Goodwood.
@@captain_context9991 I agree with you on most points. You made good statements, especially about crash worthyness. Kit cars are not allowed in most countries and therefore they are not real cars in that sense.
Good talking to you.
Damn....please find a longer flat road / runway and do this again. Guarantee you it will do 300+ MPH.
Thanks for redoing this the proper way. Looking forward to seeing you do this again.
I used to be glued to Nelson Racing engines vids a long time ago and always held him in very high regards. It's unreal to see one of and likely his greatest beast powering the worlds fasted street legal car. Just awesome.
Well done tuatara and also robert. from the debunk last time to the verification efforts, and now this result is amazing to see this car come to its potential. 👍👍
There's only one tuatara and it's Bimota!
@@slobodanmarkovic4079 3 actually, this one, the white prototype and Michael Strahan's Striker in silver.
Trust is a big word
Glad you guys didn't quit after the toasting the company took on the first attempt. Still believed in you. Very impressive showing.
@NELSON'S RACING This is insane! Is this necessary? I don't care. I still like it!
@NELSON'S RACING lol 😆 Thank you. I needed that clarification. Lol 😆 You guys are insane! But it's cool!
It sure looks like a +300 mph hypercar. Awesome!
It kept pulling so hard even past 200 thats insane
This is absolute insanity!!!! The way that thing is pulling at 295 is like an average car accelerating from 0-60. Sheeeesh!!!!
The concept of this car was ahead of its time.
Thanks to still get robert in this! Good job boyz
Y'all have been through a lot in the last year and it is so cool to see y'all on top again. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 and the amazing part is that the car was as STILL PULLING 🏁
Couldnt agree more. Love the BF3 pic
Where all the people who attacked these guys coming out to support the transparency of this company after the faulty equipment failed them the first time?
Hands down aggressive fast acceleration. With a 4 mile+ run way 330mph and some could be achieved. Massive congratulations 🔥
It appears to pick up 20mph in the last 12 seconds of the run. At 300mph its covering a mile every 12 seconds. So the extra 2 miles of runway would be something like 20 to 24 seconds of longer on wide open throttle (assuming an avg of over 300mph across the extra 2 miles). Assuming no slow down in accel (unrealistic), it would gather 35 to 40mph extra during this time. 330mph to 335mph. Assuming you need extra braking distance and the rate of accel HAS to slow down at some point. It would appear to me to take longer than 4 miles to get to 330mph even if the car could. Someone with some proper data could look at the decreasing rate of acceleration and come up with better. IMO it will do 305mph to 310mph if that runway went on for another 20 seconds of WOT.
Loook at a bugatti
@@simp2234 they only got the resource to do it in a longer road, and money from Volkswagen, so stop sugarcoating it. SSC, Hennessey, and Koenigsegg are far better than Bugatti. Period.
@@simp2234 it was modified and needed over 5 miles to do 300. This thing accelerates faster, and would do 300 in a shorter distance
@@JohnnySack16 Better performance, design, and faster than Bugatti. Now don't start crying that I said about what I'm going to say. Bugatti is not fastest, Chiron SS 300+ is not a production speed record, it ONLY went one direction, it was heavily modified during the speed test, and afterwards it was set to electronically limited to 273 mph.
Great job team! Way to step up, come together and push forward. Been following this car for what seems like forever, glad to the ssc guys take such an open approach. Now let's see that video on the full prep done to make this happen. Would love a closer look! Not doubting at all, just want more details!!!
Fantastic come back and I cant wait to see what it can really do flat out good job 👍
Dang, so close to 300 at such a relatively short distance
Incredible I remember seeing the SSC Ultimate Aero when I was a kid and thinking "this is it" I am reminded of that seeing this latest creation, bravo guys.
This car will absolutely break the production car top speed record. What a machine!
@NELSON'S RACING Are you asking me, or telling me? I was under the impression that the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport held the record at just over 300 MPH, but it looks as though their run was not officially recognized, and SSC apparently managed 316.11 MPH in Nevada, which was averaged from two runs - one of which reached a GPS verified 331.5 MPH! That's insane!
SSC has really outdone themselves. What a car!
@@Holmesson SOURCE: Trust me Bro.
No Nevada Proof
@@wendysburgers4326 FFS, this is from well over a year ago, and I simply repeated what SSC reported. SSC claimed the car had achieved a GPS-verified 316 MPH... *BUT,* they would find that their GPS was registering the data in error. The actual speed achieved during their fastest run was 295 MPH. I'm not sure if they've since beaten that figure, but I'm convinced it has more in it.
I guess if they continue to run into trouble with that pesky 300 MPH barrier, they could always call Christian von Koenigsegg to help them out! lol

Great job Jerrod and all the team! What a truly amazing car from my home town!
Ssc, youve earned not only my loyalty… but also my respect ✊
Good to see that you are doing it for real this time!
finally a new attempt! I've always been a believer in this car. I same that we could be seeing it hit that big 300 very soon now!
Easily a +300 mph car once you find a longer runway. The tires might end up being the limiting factor. lol
Congrats to all people who were involved! 👏👏
The car has the best looks amongst high top speed supercars! ❤️
Boost by gear for the win! Each gear you could see the multiplied boost and acceleration just getting quicker. Applause guys, applause 👏👏👏
Congrats! Wonderful achievement. Definitely seems to be accelerating hard even at 280+MPH!
Wow, that surprised me. Notice the GPS at 1:46 shows 267.1 and the Speedo shows 264. Usually it’s the other way round. What an amazing car!
Even when the GPS showed 294mph, the speedo was at 289mph.
No, for pretty much every car, the speedo is slower than the actual speed

Congratulation on this new record that's been achieved!! Very happy to see you guys take a better analysis on the speed and GPS data this time around. I do truly believe this car can reach 300-310mph with some fine adjustments along with more road space; like 3-5 miles worth.

This car can definitely do 300+
So nice to see a manufacturer admit when they made an error and commit themselves to keep improving the car. Fantastic work
That car was climbing faster at 295 that the Bugatti was at 295...way faster
The G forces on this puppy have to be phenomenal. Impressive car SSC.
The whole car lurches so hard with every shift, that engine has enough power to make steel bend.
Well that was a surprise upload. Still need a bigger runway though.
And especialy a better surface. This tarmac is really bad.

They should fly the car out to Dubai and do a run on a closed highway, their roads are so damn smooth!
@@HorrorUberAlles No! Temperatures way too high for the engine!
@@einautofan6685 Sheesh, just do it in the winter.
This thing is outstanding considering the distance covered to reach 295
It's a good thing that they improved after they faced bad rep from the last run! The engine sound is too glorious!
The big three car creators battling for 300+
I love it!
You can see INSTANTLY that it pulls so much more than the Chiron 300+, the only reason they broke 300 is cause of their long ass road, that Tuatara is a 300mph car
This car is soooooooo capable of like 330. I cant wait till they can do it
It's a beast incomplete! Can't wait to see what it does when it's fully ironed out
This car is so sick. I loved it from day one
The car shifted up at 250mph and it was still pulling at 295. I really hope this attempt sticks, really really want this to get there.

Yeah, it wasn't 295mph as claimed.
Very nice to see Tom Nelson behind the powertrain! Love Nelson Racing Engines
Even in the past videos it was clear that accelaration wise it was in a category of its own.
Been following the Tuatara closely for a while now. Really glad to see how you have not let any of the negativity hinder you from continuing to push towards your goals! SSC FTW.
Great effort!!!! pretty sure M. Hennessey is watching your progress and prepping the F5 to get to 295 or more.
