SSC Ultimate Aero

[Energizerrr]

I'd love my Yugo to be in GT5 too, but I'm not the one starting yet another "THIS MUST BE IN GT, HI PD PLEASE^^" thread.

The biggest disappointment in GT5 for me was getting in the Veyron and taking it for I drive, and discovering I couldn't use interior view.

And how terribly it handles...

 

[Downhill Dino]

you guys are not talking about this yet? sheesh.....

I was thinking about this too. I wonder if it'll actually be able to hit it's targets. I remember Clarkson reading the their target wish list on Top Gear.

I hate that big fat bath tub Veyron :x

 

[Downhill Dino]

The SSC and the new Tuatara are both ugly. The SSC is especially a disaster. If I may share my opinion since everyone else seems to doing the same.

Really, I see no possibility of it ever being in a Gran Turismo game.

They are ugly!? The veyron is the definition of ugly. None of those world record beaters are pretty.....The only exception was the Mclaren F1.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I'm not saying the Veyron is good looking. It is in it's own class of unatractiveness, and so are the SSC and the Tuatara. But the Veyron has more class if you know what I mean.

The McLaren is definitely the best of the world record smashers. 👍

Oh! I understand, and i agree.

I have to disagree, the Tuatara is so much better(in terms of looks) than most modern supercars out.

It's not the prettiest car - but still very attractive to my eye. If I saw that drive by I'm sure I wouldn't cover my eyes at the horror, and rather be thinking "how stunning!"

 

[Downhill Dino]

The Tuatara is aiming for that futuristic look, it's never pretty. It reminds me of a Hyundai. It is stunning, but I wouldn't say in a positive manner.

 

[Aaronrray]

I still prefer the legendary McLaren F1, it's almost as fast and out turns both! It's comfortable, naturally aspirated (no turbo lag), has the greatest sports car award: overall victory at Le Mans! It actually looks good, you sit in the middle, and it's considered "The greatest super car of all time" by many sources... Read my signature'

 

[Spoil-t]

To the OP: I wish they have the Agera R & Vemon GT in the game. Claimed top speed on both 275MPH. Now add them & Test Course in-game then let GT5's physics engine decide how fast they really are.

It is pretty awesome. I love the central driving position. I doubt the SSC is better to drive than the F1, though it's probably better than the top speed oriented Veyron.

 

[MattZR1]

Correction: it is not faster then the Veyron. That is, not faster then the Super Sport.

Actually Shelby Supercars is working on the next variation of the Aero that will stomp out the Veyron Super Sport. It isn't a matter of IF it will, it is just a matter of WHEN it will beat the current top speed record.

 

[Bigbazz]

No.

A 6.3L V8 compared to an 8L W16. Yeah, it's a ridiculously big engine alright...

It wasn't built for luxury.

This "engineering beauty" motif is entirely avoiding why it was engineered the way it was in the first place.

Again, it's engine isn't bigger, and it's top speed was only that after the two runs were averaged; on it's first run it was already quicker than the original Veyron.

I won't even bother with the rest as you've already made yourself look foolish enough.

How is it not a Diablo Kit car? It runs on a Diablo replica chassis and it looks like a Diablo.

My point with the difference between the Aero and Veyron is simply down to the Aero being a kit car with a bad drag co-efficient, offset by a massively powerful engine specifically designed to go faster than the Veyron. The Veyron is a luxury grand tourer designed to last, that just happens to be the fastest car on the road (or atleast, the SS version is). The Aero is not a good car, it just brute forces its way into speed and does nothing else good, its not a good track car and its not a useable day to day car.

The test course in GTPSP wasn't long enough to reach the top speed of the Veyron, so you would need a bigger test track for those kind of tests.

LOL, if you're trying to start an argument over the most "useable day to day car" then neither the Ultimate Aero nor the Veyron should be anywhere near the discussion. These aren't designed to be your daily commuters.

 

[deadcat777]

SSC Ultimate Aero is a junk.

I think VW should buy over SSC and tell them to shut the ****up.

I think the Veyron was. Why else would there be luxury included?

 

[maciej908]

^ One of the main reasons is that Bugatti had a flat, long, straight test track to do their top speed run, while SSC only had a closed public road, with kinks, and lots of undulations. It could theoretically do 275mph!

Anyways, I'm not really fond of the Aero, but the SSC Tuatara:

DLC me wants!

OMG I hope it beats the Veyron... I love the Veyron Super Sports but this just looks cool and SSC don't have a test track with the length of 12km... If they beat the Bugatti that'll be amazing lol 👍

 

[maciej908]

SSC Ultimate Aero is a junk.

Sounds cool tbh... it kinda looks like it's around 20 years too late for the super car party... The Tuatara looks more modern tho... 👍

 

[Exorcet]

It can't turn to save its life, OK exaggeration, but the handling isn't as good as the speed from what I know. The Veyron probably corners as well. Let alone the SSC.

The Aero is not a good car, it just brute forces its way into speed and does nothing else good, its not a good track car and its not a useable day to day car.

Completely backwards.

Also notice how the SSC's .357 cd compares to the Bugatti's .36, and how the Bugatti has an additional gear to allow better power delivery at speed.

 

[masterrawad]

the aero has a rather bland style, like i've seen it a thousand times. one notable feature is that it has air brakes! but still, unoriginal styling. the tuatara has a rather odd style, but it works. but let me point something out:

 

[MadBullBunny]

God this thread is so stupid. All these wankers who keep thinking the Veyron SS is faster because it had miles of more straight then the UA had. I mean seriously as I said before. DO THE MATH. The UA is built around aerodynamics and its built around weight. GUESS WHAT, yes weight has a lot to do with top end speed! That's seriously hilarious who ever assumes weight has nothing to do with speed. More HP and less weight with greater aerodynamics means it will go faster. Its physics and if you don't like it then don't bother posting because you make yourself look stupid. If SSC really wanted to they could take their product to the same track and blow the Veyrons doors off. Sadly SSC wasn't bothering because they already had the Tuatara in the making when VW released the SS. Research people.

Do you know what a kit car is? Serious question.

The likes of Caterham, Superformance, Factory Five, and Marcos all produce "kit cars". The Ultimate Aero is not a "kit car", it's based off a preexisting chassis, not a preexisting car. A chassis that Jerrod himself put time and money into and was then used for the Aero SC/8T prototype.

Moreover, a kit car isn't weighed down by the same legality of structural integrity for the chassis itself. Also if you think the Ultimate Aero looks like a Diablo, any Diablo then you should probably get yourself some eyewear.

My point with the difference between the Aero and Veyron is simply down to the Aero being a kit car with a bad drag co-efficient...

A bad drag co-efficient you say? Is that why it's .357 compared to the Veyron's .36? You having fun making yourself look more and more foolish?

...offset by a massively powerful engine specifically designed to go faster than the Veyron.

Funny, because the Veyron has a "massively" powerful engine to offset it's weight and to achieve the speed it did.

its not a good track car and its not a useable day to day car.

Really? Do you...do you own one? Have you taken one around the track...any track?

Jay Leno (someone who does own an Ultimate Aero) is on record as saying it's very sensible when driving at normal speeds. Which is entirely understandable for a car throwing 1200+ horses to the rear wheels.

 

[Exorcet]

That's seriously hilarious who ever assumes weight has nothing to do with speed. Its physics and if you don't like it then don't bother posting because you make yourself look stupid.

That's ironic. Weight has next to nothing to do with top end speed. Care to show us these physics, as in the numbers?

 

[aadil717]

If you were paying around 1million for a car I think you would expect the basic luxuries.

Yes, ok, but who actually got a higher speed? The Veyron. The math doesn't matter, the physics or anything. It's about which car actually got the higher top speed.
Also, the SSC wouldn't be brought to that track because, as far as I know, it's under Volkswagen's ownership. I would highly doubt they would let a competing car on their track to defeat their own.

 

[SuperShouden]

Am I the only one frustrated by the fact that the Shelby Super Cars Ultimate Aero is faster than a Veyron, yet is not on GT5?

Am I the only one irritated that this numb nuts has nothing better to do than complain that his favorite car isn't in the game? Seriously, dude, shut up, get off your lazy ass and grow a pair.
