SSC Tuatara hits 331mph (or not)

Looks like there was more left too

Crikey!

Love the way the driver casually adjusts the seat belt while holding the wheel with one hand at 110mph.

Imagine a blow out at that speed. What would happen?

pastymuncher · 19 Oct 2020 at 20:07

The acceleration of that thing is unreal and it still looked like it could go faster.

A blowout at high speed? Well, Richard Hammond found that out.

I want one. Do they do PCP?

The comparative lack of Drama is telling and it didn't even seem he had his foot flat until he was doing 150+. One hand on the wheel fist pumping at 200MPH!

Yeah but ring WBAC first to see if they'll give more for your Corsa than trade-in value.

That was way too effortless!

Crazy gearing, also amazing how they utterly smashed the koenigsegg (sp) record, one that i thought was probably very hard to beat, but clearly not

Ha didn’t even punch it till right on 200 :eek:

Christ on a bike. They're almost in par with a stage 5+ ecobooost fiesta.

Probably didn't have full traction much before then!

Impressive. That acceleration when he punches it at 200mph. Loads left in the tank too. Crazy impressive.

That was my thought. Anything that can do 331mph can probably spin wheels for a looong time.

Hate to be that guy but I did 335 yesterday in my mx5 on the road-name-redacted, how unimpressive :rolleyes:

*buffeting*

We kinda need another 155mph truce the early 90s saw.
It's getting daft once again.
