If you're a member of the ShelbySuperCars team that created the SSC Ultimate Aero it can get you the production car speed record. Guinness World RecordsTM has certified that the SSC is the fastest production car in the world. The record is obtained by averaging the top speed of two passes from opposite directions. The official speed record is 256.18 mph. The SSC Ultimate Aero shattered the Koenigsegg CCR's previous official record by over 15 mph, and the Bugatti Veyron's unofficial record by over 3.5 mph. As fast as 256 plus mph is, wind tunnel tests suggest the SSC is capable of top speeds of over 270 mph.
