SSC

However, the ‘record’ won’t be officially recognised due to technicalities

In an Instagram post, SSC said it was ‘truly heartbroken’ not to break the 300mph barrier in its controversial top speed run last year

SSC has announced two new Tuatara derivatives - the aero-focused Striker and the track-only Aggressor

SSC ran its Tuatara hypercar at the Kennedy Space Center, hitting a top speed of 286mph and a record-breaking average of 282mph

Jerod Shelby has confirmed in a video statement that SSC will go for the top speed record a second time with multiple GPS tracking units

Austrian company Dewetron has said it was not directly involved in SSC's claimed 331mph run, despite claims in a press release from the latter

After high-profile YouTubers began to claim the SSC Tuatara’s supposed world record-setting top speed run might not be what it seems, SSC has responded – although not entirely directly

While becoming the world's fastest production car during its sensational run in Nevada, the Tuatara broke three additional records

SSC has released a video showing an incredible pull from 40 to 140mph, which is over incredibly quickly

SSC has released a video of its 1750bhp hypercar blasting down a closed road in Washington state

Despite appearing to be doomed, the Bloodhound land speed record effort has been saved

SSC has released a video showing the Tuatara’s 5.9-litre twin-turbo V8 in testing, and it sounds pretty mean

A handful of niche hypercar makers are chasing 300mph, but beyond the chance to boast to your rich friends I’m struggling to see the point

The CEO of SSC North America reckons the 1750bhp Tuatara is the only car with a realistic chance of making it past 300mph
