SSC North America, America’s first hypercar company, just took the title of the “Fastest Production Vehicle,” this time with its 1,750hp Tuatara hypercar. It was piloted by acclaimed professional racing driver, Oliver Webb on Saturday morning, October 10, right outside of Las Vegas near Pahrump, Nevada along a seven-mile stretch of State Route 160. It averaged 316.11 mph (508.73 km/h) following two consecutive high-speed test runs of 301.07 mph (484.53 km/h) and 331.15 mph (532.93 km/h). Read more for a video and additional pictures.

Officials were on site to verify that all world record criteria was met using data from the Dewetron GPS measurements, which tracked the speed runs using an average of 15 satellites.

There was definitely more in there. And with better conditions, I know we could have gone faster. As I approached 331 mph, the Tuatara climbed almost 20 mph within the last five seconds. It was still pulling well. As I told Jerod [CEO of SSC], the car wasn’t running out of steam yet. The crosswinds are all that prevented us from realizing the car’s limit,” said Oliver Webb, who piloted the record run.
