SSC Ultimate Aero
Jerod Shelby · 2006
The SSC Ultimate Aero is a mid-engined sports car built by SSC North America from 2004 to 2013. It held the Guinness World Records production car speed record from 2007 until 2010. Jerod Shelby stated the early design philosophy was to make it a driver's car where throttle input could influence steering. The Aero features butterfly doors similar to those on the McLaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo. Carbon fibre and titanium are used throughout the car.
