Shelby Super cars Tuatara Aims at the Next Speed Record

Shelby Supercars Tuatara aims at being one of the future record breaking supercars, when it comes to speed. This vehicle comes with extreme specifications and took the name Tuatara from a New Zealand reptile that’s a descendent of dinosaurs.

In the Maori language, this means “peaks on the back”, a feat that’s shown by the design of the Tuatara, through the tiny wings on the back of the new car. SSC’s new car has a body made entirely of carbon fiber and the chassis and wheels will be made from the same material. The engine is twin turbo V8 (7 liter), that generates 1,350 horsepower, enough to make a Bugatti jealous.

Shelby Supercars Tuatara uses a triple disc carbon clutch, 7 speed manual H-Patter or 7 Speed SMG Paddle Shift. I’d love to see it during a Top Gear show, being tested against the Veyron.
