All this while it was the Bugatti
Veyron Super Sport that has
been gloating over its title of the
world’s fastest production car in
the world with a top speed of 268
mph. but looks like Shelby
Supercars is going to rob away
that pedestal from Bugatti with
its Tuatara supercar that is
reported to touch the roaring
speed of 275mph. The name
actually translates to a reptile in
Maori language which means
‘peaks on the back.’ We find the
name quite befitting owing to the
fact the car has winglets on the
back.
The Tuatara lizard is known for its
fastest evolving DNA in the world
and hence the makers couldn’t
think of a better name than this
one. The body of the car is
crafted out of carbon fiber and
wrapped around a carbon chassis
too. Its crash structures are made
from aluminum whereas the
wheels are again made of carbon
fiber. The engine here is a twin-
turbocharged 7.0-liter V-8
developing upwards of 1,350
horsepower, and drive will be sent
to the rear wheels via a seven-
speed manual transmission. No
word on pricing and availability
yet.
