The Ultimate Aero - A 250+ MPH Dream Car
Didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas? When it comes to cars, you rarely do. Take, for example, this beautiful and rarely seen SSC Ultimate Aero (which I’m fairly certain was on my Christmas list). This is an amazing car that caught my eye from a hundred yards away, and drew me close like a moth to light. It was parked in front of one of our favorite toy stores - MotorCars of Las Vegas so I had to check out this rolling work of art up close. It didn’t take long - somewhere between its lines and its pedigree, the Ultimate Aero went on my short list of radical car favorites. After all, this car has most everything you could want in a dream car; beauty, style, speed and tons of carbon fiber. A high-tech masterpiece, the body and frame are constructed entirely of carbon fiber/composite/steel space frame. Weighing in with a dry weight of 2,750 lbs. makes this one strong and light machine. Aerodynamic too.
The Ultimate Aero is the fastest production car on the planet. Those are some serious bragging rights, so don’t believe us - check it out for yourself. It’s even received a Guiness Book of World Records award for achieving two-way times speed in excess of 256.15 MPH. So, until otherwise informed, we’re calling that good for the title of World’s Fastest Production Car.
QUICK SPECS*:
- 0-60 mph: 2.78 seconds
- 1/4 Mile: 9.90 seconds at 144 mph
- Top Speed: 257.41 MPH / Official Average: 256.15 MPH
- Skidpad: 1.05 g
- 0-100mph-0: 11.66
- 60mph-0 (braking): 103 feet

It’s as you would expect from a legendary car builder like Shelby. Did we mention the SCC, as in SSC Ultimate Aero, stands for Shelby Super Cars? You can learn more about this Shelby Super Car at: MotorCars of Las Vegas website. These guys specialize in exotic, highline and luxury automobiles and are the exclusive North American dealer for the world’s fastest production car, the SSC Ultimate Aero. But if your tastes differ, they also showcase Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, BMW, Mercedes and a plethora of other exotics - you get the idea.
Get used to this view unless you’re the one behind the wheel of this beast.
Doors up. As you would expect, it takes some effort to get into, but once your inside she fits like a glove. I’m 6′ and it fit me right anyway. Once you’re inside, you’ll get a great view of the carbon fiber dash and panels, mixed with custom Recaro seats and ultra-contemporary interior. And if you’ve got somewhere between $500k-600k, you can enjoy that view as often as you like.
Leading the pack, and in good company, the Ultimate Aero runs the hills with three beautiful Lamborghini locals, courtesy of the Ferrari Club of Las Vegas.
Well, that’s it for this one. For me, it’s off for a couple laps at the track… in my mind anyway
