The Ultimate Aeros production ended in 2013, marking the conclusion of an era for this record-breaking supercar. SSC North America has since focused on its successor, the Tuatara, continuing their legacy in high-performance vehicle manufacturing. I believe the Ultimate Aero will always be remembered as a pioneering American supercar.

The SSC Ultimate Aero held the Guinness World Records title for the fastest production car from 2007 until 2010, when the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport took the title. However, there was a brief period in April 2013 when the Veyrons record was temporarily disqualified, reinstating the Ultimate Aero as the record holder for a few days. This back-and-forth highlights the intense competition in the supercar world.

In 2013, SSC North America introduced the Ultimate Aero XT, a special edition to mark the end of the Ultimate Aeros production. This limited edition featured a new 6.9-litre all-aluminium twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a seven-speed paddle-shifted gearbox. Only one XT was built, utilizing components designed for the upcoming Tuatara model. I think this was a fitting tribute to the Ultimate Aeros legacy.

The Ultimate Aero TT underwent extensive testing, including six runs of 0–300 km/h (186 mph) in 15.1 to 15.8 seconds, using a prototype gearbox designed for the future Tuatara model. These tests demonstrated the cars exceptional acceleration and performance capabilities. Its remarkable to see such precise engineering.

In 2009, SSC updated the Ultimate Aero TT, increasing its power by 15% and enhancing its aerodynamics with new carbon fibre louvres and an AeroBrake system. This update allowed the car to reach a top speed of 415 km/h (258 mph) in tests. The redesign also included improvements to the engine cooling and interior. I believe these updates made the Ultimate Aero TT even more formidable on the track.

SSC North America announced plans to produce the Ultimate Aero EV in 2009, an electric version of the Ultimate Aero. Although it never entered production, the EV was claimed to produce 746 kW (1,000 hp) and 1,085 N·m (800 ft·lb) of torque, with a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph). It would have been interesting to see how this electric variant performed.

In 2007, the SSC Ultimate Aero set the world production car speed record, reaching an average top speed of 256.14 mph on a rural paved road in Eastern Washington State. This achievement solidified the Ultimate Aeros position as one of the fastest production cars in the world at that time. Its impressive to see how SSC pushed the boundaries of speed.

The Ultimate Aeros design and engineering were influenced by American aerospace, reflecting the companys roots in Washington States aerospace industry. This influence is evident in its aerodynamic body and high-performance capabilities. I think this unique blend of aerospace and automotive engineering is what sets SSC apart.

The Ultimate Aero was a significant milestone in achieving this goal, showcasing American ingenuity in the supercar market.

It featured a twin-turbocharged 6,300 cc SSC V8 engine, producing 960 kW (1,287 hp) and 1,500 N·m (1,106 lbf·ft) of torque. This engine configuration made it a powerhouse on the road.
