SSC Tuatara sets world’s fastest production car record – 455.3 km/h two-way average; 460.4 km/h Vmax! 29 January 2021 12:39 pm / 5 comments Last year, SSC announced that its hypercar, the Tuatara, managed to set a new record for the world’s fastest production car. However, the company faced plenty of controversy after proudly making the declaration, with many claiming that the video evidence didn’t back up the data of the attempt. This resulted in company CEO Jerod Shelby having to admit that the evidence was a little shaky, and that SSC would not submit the data to Guinness World Records. In a personal statement posted on YouTube, he vowed to re-run the attempt to make sure it is done “in a way that’s undeniable and irrefutable.”
