2011 SSC Aero - Now the Fastest Car in the World?

The debut photos of the 2011 SSC Ultimate Aero II have been published in Top Gear magazine.

Designed by Jason Castriota of Bertone and Pininfarina fame, the next-generation SSC Ultimate Aero II has the ambitious milestone of 275 miles per hour in its sights. Its power-to-weight ratio, thanks in part to carbon fiber and aluminum construction, is nearly double that of the Veyron. And with a 6.8-liter twin-turbo V8 packing 1350 horsepower, its output is higher while using half the cylinders and turbochargers of its European rival. This ought to be good. But don’t like it too much, as the price tag is expected to come in around $970,000.
