OFFICIAL: SSC TUATARA BREAKS WORLD RECORD

The SSC Tuatara is officially the world's fastest production car. With an average two-way speed of 282.9 mph over 2.3 miles, SSC broke the standing record of 278mph. This happened last week while testing at JBPG in Kennedy Space Center on SSC's quest to break 300 mph.

[@EfficientRVer]

Which makes me wonder how he'd know the worst-case braking distance from 300+ to 0. More people die descending Everest than climbing up it.

[@prod_vello]

@@EfficientRVer very good point

[@EfficientRVer]

@Omar Williams My point was that he probably did a very smart thing, to start braking before the planned spot, whether from concerns about how the braking zone was chosen, or instinctive fear of death. Braking distance/problems from 300 to 0 might have become a different animal than 270 to 0, and doing it from 286 was a big enough jump for one run versus another, until he has a better idea of how the braking phase changes at increasingly higher speeds.. Hitting 300 or the previously claimed 331 and then having tires or brakes fail to stop the car wouldn't be good. Building up the speed a little more each run, rather than going for a big jump in speed, might avoid a disaster by having things go a bit wrong but not fatally wrong as you approach whatever the disaster speed is. There is pretty surely a speed at which something stops working as hoped. He took enough chances as it was. Having fans wish he kept his foot on the pedal longer, isn't a good enough reason to do so. Neil Armstrong was asked 1000 times whether he was scared going to the moon. Usually the answer was about confidence in equipment and training, focus on mission, that a little fear is useful for being super alert to danger, etc. But one time his answer was more along the lines that "Putting my pink little body into a tin can on top of a huge rocket full of propellant, with some parts made by the lowest bidders, and then leaving Earth way behind, was of course scary. No matter how good you are at flying it, you can't be sure you'll make it home to the wife and kids OK. We knew it, but loved doing the job we signed up for." I'm paraphrasing, but definitely remember the "pink little body" part as a direct quote, which I cannot now find the source of.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

@@EfficientRVer I'm not disagreeing with you, but in these scenarios most braking is done by the aero above 200mph. Wheel braking above those speeds is generally unsafe outside of purpose-built race cars. Both drag racing & land speed tests use chutes to slow down to a safer speed to use wheel brakes.

This car can definitely hit 300. Shame they didn't have a longer area. Respect to the company for doing the right thing.

This run was over a much shorter distance.

[@GTrainRx7]

@@ELGlueckert Why do you think they decided to run over a shorter distance? What possible reason would there be to make it HARDER for them to achieve the record?

[@haonanzhang6759]

The acceleration seems to be way less brutal, and the gears are definitely shorter. But even with all these drama they are still nowhere near 300mph. Also, the record should be the average of both runs rather than taking the better one.

[@Jackson-sh3bs]

The car was still gaining speed fast before he had to brake, if they had more road they couldn’t definitely do way better, maybe 300+

[@Chieseled_Renegade]

At that speed the perception of a driver and a pilot is very same. Its like a portal to different dimension.

[@blackdove6713]

Was appalled by the first run but impressed and cheering them on for this

I really think this car can go faster than 300mph !

Give them a longer runway. It was still pulling at 286.

I don't think so, just because it was accelerating fast doesn't mean it will go 300mph+ lmao

[@DehinorVargas]

I noticed when they run both runs, the owner took almost a second to reach 2th gear, in a faster shifting it could gain better speed and timing, in other world congrats to SSC, even from the first run it impressed me a lot

[@nylarnameless1759]

Props after the issues with the last run. It's worth mentioning that no one knows exactly what happened then but the maths show this car capable (conservative) of 345mph. So 331 isn't out of the realm of possible. When I saw the acceleration from 276-286 it took my breath away. I've never seen acceleration like that at speeds 100mph slower not to mention broaching 300. A great run a great car.
