$1.9 million SSC Tuatara supercar wrecked on the way to 300 mph run
Fox News
The $1.9 million SSC Tuatara supercar that holds the unofficial production car speed record has been damaged in a car accident. The vehicle was being trailered to Florida for an attempt to hit 300 mph.
The mark was set following a record attempt in October that initially looked like it achieved an average of 316.11 mph on a closed public highway in Nevada, but was contested when the calibration of the timing equipment used could not be confirmed. Washington state-based SSC is confident the 1,750 hp coupe can break the 300 mph barrier and was planning another attempt when disaster struck. According to The Drive, the same car used in both record runs was being shipped back to Florida for another run when high winds tipped over the truck carrying it on a Utah highway near Salt Lake City, Utah, on April 13.More Related News
