You Think the Aero is Fast!
Last fall the Ultimate Aero gained a coveted mention in the Guinness book of World records as the fastest production car in the world. The event took place on a temporarily closed, two-lane stretch of public highway in Washington State. In accordance with Guinness World Records' strict policies, the car had to drive down the highway, turn around, and make a second pass in the opposite direction within one hour.
The Ultimate Aero at 1,000 plus horsepower; 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds, posted 257.41 mph on the first pass and 254.88 mph on the second for an average of 256.18 mph. At that speed the Ultimate Aero broke the official record held by the Koenigsegg CCR (242 mph) and the unofficial record (253 mph) held by Volkswagen's $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron.
I give the Aero the title for world's fastest "production car" but the numbers pale in comparison to a street legal car owned by a transmission specialist in England.
