2011 SSC Ultimate Aero: The Tease

The 2011 SSC Ultimate Aero Tease

The SSC Ultimate Aero from Shelby Supercars is the car which stole the crown of the Bugatti Veyron as the fastest production car in the world. But now Bugatti has snatched that back with the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. So it’s not the biggest surprise in the world that SSC are now trumpeting and teasing the 2011 version of the Ultimate Aero.

Shelby Supercars aren’t actually saying that their 2011 Ultimate Aero (or whatever it gets called) will take back the crown as the fastest production car in the world, but the inference is certainly there. The home page of their web site is given over to the tease with the photo above and a few strap lines.

We’re told that ‘The Next Generation is Coming’; ‘Because Life Begins at 250′ and ‘Proudly Built in the United States of America’ all of which puts the SSC in perceptive. It’s not the technological tour de force the Veyron is, it’s just the ultimate expression of American muscle, and actually all the better for that. Although it could do with being a bit better looking.

We know that Shelby has shown the new car to private clients already and the feedback is very positive. We’re trying to get hold of one of the attendees to see if we can get pictures and more information, but for now the teaser at the top is all there is.

Expect a dozen or so ‘Ultimate Supercars’ to come from Shelby Supercars with a price less than half that of the Veyron.

The reveal is next month.
