SSC Tuatara’s 300MPH Aerodynamics and Design !

[@fahgina]

Love that you guys are fully immersed in this project now. Hopefully we can get some legit records!

[@RobertMitchell]

I’m eager to see what they can do

[@Luffy_RpM]

Tuatara looks awesome.... one of the best looking cars out there currently ...!!!

[@criktun3346]

Yep agree, some of the angles here, 👌.

[@Mark__A]

Robert: Mr worldwide Tier 1, Shmee150: Tier 2, Misha: Forgot his camera gear...

[@bannedone3ice138]

Rubbish. Misha is the one who gave recognition to Robert. Misha is the o.g of Nurburgring. So please refrain from disrespecting him !!!!

[@TheGamer-ux2lr]

@@bannedone3ice138 You would think by now that Misha would remember his camera gear. He is always forgetting something. Speaking the truth is not disrespectful. It's a fact. Misha is Misha and like all of us he's not perfect but he's loveable.

[@RobertMitchell]

I think it was a joke because I teased misha in yesterday vid about forgetting his cam gear. We all know that I’m just cruising here and those two are really out there being creative and professionals

[@Mark__A]

@@RobertMitchell Of course its a fact and a joke. Sad it need to be explained for others...

[@TheTechnoaddict]

I love how they reacted to you calling them out. I know it's in there best interest but still deserves respect.

[@sylvandespres7654]

and that's it for those who said that this car is not safe, and that SSC avoids talking about it. it's funny to see how the comments of the SSC haters have changed. it seems that the spine is much more flexible than we can imagine. this car is extraordinarily well thought out, they took 10 years to perfect it, and the result is here.

[@hosoiarchives4858]

Tuatara is one of top cars out there

[@paulkrapp]

Great video Robert, you're correct, aerodynamic drag increases exponentially as speed increases. 300+ MPH is getting close to 1/2 the speed of sound! The Tuatara's design is impressive in regards to aerodynamics! 👍🏎😁

[@saileshpillay]

Jason really seems like a humble guy despite being a design genius. Great walk around the car, very interesting. Thanks for the brilliant content Robert. #Tier1

[@cmayorbal]

Lovely to see how this relationship started and how it ended! Very impressive car and great explanation from Jason. Very difficult to see such great quality automotive content!!

[@RobertMitchell]

Quite the spin eh?!

Clean design, clean flow, without all the fussy details most supercars tack on.

[@CarToneHK]

I could listen to Jason Castriota all day, one of my fav car designers easily

[@brianhudgins990]

One of the most interesting yet low-key interviews I've ever seen.

[@RuralBacon]

This was a really interesting video, it's not often you get to hear all of this information directly from the guy who designed it. It seems like this car is exceptionally well designed, I hope SSC follows through on its production.

[@joaoluistavares6046]

200 mph with the window down? That's the very first time I ever heard in my life. I was once on a highway at the rear right seat of a Fiat Punto. The speed was just 100mph and I was already feeling some pressure and hearing air noise. The windows from the rear doors were just 1cm open. So for this one to have this capability, it's just amazing. The design is beautiful. I love that rear window over the engine.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

It is one of the more beautiful shapes we have seen for a while. In the same way a race plane is beautiful in its form follows function.

[@RobertMitchell]

It’s got a good style to it for sure

[@tooclaws]

I listened to everyword, but my eyes were totally focused on the shuttle. :) Lol Ty for sharing guys.

[@RobertMitchell]

Our pleasure

[@MrE30]

Evening Robert, you did well there with camera, audio, visual and interview good job.

[@RobertMitchell]

Thank you:-)

[@ghepardogts]

This is a car built to a really high level. I hope they get their PR mistakes sorted.

[@eichler721]

Love how you are covering the SCC its made the process more transparent which is what we love. I love how MR. JWW did this with the Valkarie so far. Now I want someone to do this with the AMG One. That's my favorite current hypercar as track times are cooler to me then top speed although both are crazy hard to achieve.

[@KayJblue]

Studio is looking really good.

[@RobertMitchell]

Thanks Kay!!!

[@liamschnurr1525]

That was a really great in depth look into how so the aero works, but it really impressed me how nobody mentioned anything about the massive space shuttle in the background

[@jonmassey8124]

I did like the idea they have come up with drawing air in at the back to immediately vent it out into a diffuser just above ground level with all those aero benefits. Not something most designers would come up with as they just want the air gone but to do this is clever.

[@MattFFM]

Always nice to see the Tier 1 insights 👌🏻

[@RobertMitchell]

Nice to see you in the comments ffm

[@gen1c8rs88]

@@RobertMitchell Sense this is the Top Speed variant, what do you think about a 315/35r20 on a 20x11.5, larger diameter and less drag, not talking about having the preferred tire brand and performance category, just the tire size and it merits and any disadvantages vs a 345/30r20 on a 20x13(or 12.5?).

[@andrewdavis2325]

Hat off to you and the guys and girls at SSC. I have really enjoyed this exercise and Journey that the car has gone through. It would be great to see the aero effect on the car at three hundred mph. Great video 👍

[@owenm1342]

love watching videos on this because i’m from tri cities where these are made

[@RobertMitchell]

Thanks for watching Owen! :-)

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

It looks amazing. It also manages to stand out from a crowd of other hyper cars designed by algorithms, that just shows how much thought and reasoning went into its design. I'm still sceptical about the name, but frankly I don't care. This thing is beautiful and outrageous. They should bring it to Goodwood Festival of Speed, It has definitely earned its place there.

[@petermckay4760]

Thank you for the walk-around! What a beauty of a vehicle it is!!

Hoping for a 300mph run pretty soon! 500 kmh with tailwind if possible. 300plus against the wind.

[@basilisk4072]

@Aston Martin One-77 I’m betting about 303 against the wind. I think 311 with tailwind is definitely possible.

OMG that's a space shuttle behind :O
