What's the story
US-based SSC has revealed two new versions of its Tuatara model, which currently holds the record for the world's fastest production car. They are unlikely to make their way to India. Called the Tuatara Striker and Aggressor, these limited-run hypercars provide more downforce, generate up to 2,200hp of power, and offer more options for customization. Here are more details.
Exteriors
The cars sport a massive rear wing
Tuatara Striker and Aggressor have a muscular bonnet, sleek headlights, a front splitter, and a vertical stabilizer. They are flanked by sleek ORVMs, directionally vaned rockers, and multi-spoke wheels. A massive wing, sleek taillights, and an updated diffuser are available on the rear. The Aggressor, however, is a track-only model and offers extensive customization, including the tuning of the exhaust note.
Information
They are fueled by a 5.9-liter, SSC V8 engine
The SSC Tuatara Striker and Aggressor draw power from a 5.9-liter, SSC V8 engine linked to a CIMA 7-speed manual gearbox. In the former, the mill generates a maximum power of 1,750hp, while in the Aggressor it tops out at 2,200hp.
Interiors
The vehicles have two seats and a digital driver's display
The SSC Tuatara Striker and Aggressor have a 2-seater cabin with extensive carbon fiber usage, Alcantara upholstery, air conditioning, and a steering wheel with paddle shifters. They house a digital driver's display and a touchscreen infotainment console. For ensuring the safety of the passengers, multiple airbags, a rear-view camera, and a blind-spot monitor are available.
