The New Speed King
Unveiled in February 2020, the SSC Tuatara set a new speed record for production cars, dethroning the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport with a mark of 508.73 km/h—the first time ever a production automobile officially exceeded 500 km/h. While SSC’s feat has since been questioned, the company promises to do another run early in 2021, though it needs to watch out for the new Hennessey Venom F5, which also targets a top speed of more than 500 km/h.
