The SSC Tuatara recently set a new production car top speed record with a two-way average of 282.9 mph (455.3 km/h). However, the company isn’t stopping there.
After last year’s controversy where SSC inaccurately claimed it had hit a two-way average of 316.11 mph (508.73 km/h) with the Tuatara, the company decided against using the same strip of arrow-straight Nevada highway and has instead been testing the car at the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds in Florida. This is where the 282.2 mph two-way run was made and will likely be the location where the carmaker tries to surpass 300 mph (482 km/h).
