We are very confident in our capabilities when it comes to top speed. And yes, we will definitely be prepared to up the antes when it comes to top speed. We feel that although this top speed record does not represent practical speeds for most customers, it is still a very important record for us since it is the most extreme test for all the assemblies of any vehicle. Since the impressive ride quality and handling were so over shadowed by our top speed record with the Ultimate Aero, we have decided to make sure and show case those characteristics early in the release of the new car.

 

Jason, number the missed question so someone can pick them up.

 

I keep hearing the term bullet-proof whenever someone mentions the SSC, what would you attribute that to? Design process, build quality, simple quality and control?

 

Hey Veggie, I hope you don't mind that I field this question. I'll take responsibility for no response to your email. We receive a massive amount of emails regarding tours. At this time we don't conduct tours but with our new facility that we're actually designing certain aspects of the facility around being able to provide tours.

There is a big difference between the UA/UAII and Veyron. In fact, the Veyron and UA only share one common feature, max velocity. The Veyron is an amazing machine but both cars are fundamentally different in philosophy. The cars SSC produces focus on the visceral experience and we only incorporate technology that adds to that experience. For example we have the world's first one piece carbon fiber wheels because it lowers unsprung weights, helps acceleration, handling, braking, but doesn't take away from driver feedback.

 

There are only a few options for customers in our niche market. We find that most customers want something unique whether they have a collection or not and they want to make sure that it is a quality product for the specific purpose that it was designed and marketed for.

 

Thanks for the response. Great thread guys, big following already! BTW- the design of your new car is gorgeous. As an American I am proud that we have this car to offer into the super car world.

 

We might have to do that...

 

Lots of new members here. That's great!

 

I've long suspected that the Ultimate Aeros in the following pictures are in fact two different cars. The reason I think that the second car pictured is not the first one with the 2009 updates, is that there are differences in the dash alcantara covering. The first car is known as #005, a 2007 car, as pictured on your website. Can you confirm that these are two different cars, and if possible what is the chassis number and year of the second one?

 

Ooooh good question!
