Back in January, the SSC Tuatara made headlines after its world speed record run came under scrutiny. However, CEO Jarod Shelby silenced those claims after the Tuatara hit a record average speed of 282.9 mph in a re-run. With the world record now officially under its belt, SSC finally unveils two brand new variants of the Tuatara called the Striker and Aggressor.<\/p>\n

If the original Tuatara wasn’t impressive enough, the Tuatara Striker takes things to a whole new level. Powered by the same 5.9-liter twin-turbo V8, this variant produces a staggering 1,750 horsepower. A robotized seven-speed manual transmission helps in transferring power to all four of its wheels with a shifting time less than 100 milliseconds. However, the Striker outshines the standard trim with its cutting-edge aerodynamics, courtesy of an active rear wing and fixed-wing with vertical stabilizers maximizing downforce.<\/p>\n
