The SSC Ultimate Aero TT stole the Bugatti Veyron’s ‘World’s fastest car’ crown by 2mph last week when it hit 255mph.
That’s 55mph faster than the iconic Ferrari F40 of the Eighties and 210mph quicker than the first mass-produced car - the Ford Model T.
People criticise supercar makers for glamorising speed, but you’ve got to admire these companies for their engineering feats.
It would be insane to try and hit these speeds on a public road and you’ll rightly end up doing prison time if you do.
But it’s great to know your car can hit 400kph.
SSC has laid down the gauntlet – and the likes of Bugatti, Koenigsegg and co will try to answer them.
And in twenty years hopefully we’ll have the first 300mph car.
