EDIT Video: SSC Tuatara hits 282.9 mph
At 200 mph, it begins to stretch its legs.

I have to say, after all the years of hype from Jerod, it actually came together.
This is an incredible step forward, it's not just an incremental gain. It's going to be interesting to see how the Jesko compares. The SSC may have really taken the wind out of Christian's sails. |

Damn, they didn't just beat the record, they kicked its ass all the way off the schoolyard.

No return run?
Edit: on wiki it says they did a return run 316.11mph is the official record (average). So the return run was about 30mph slower I guess (shows how important that return run is; the chiron didn't do one...)

The analysis I’ve seen of the run is interesting, and certainly casts doubt on the claims.
The car looks incredible though. |

it is interesting about the claims... at first i thought it was just bugatti/koenigsegg being salty and trying to smear by paying off youtube influencers. But there are some legit youtube guys casting doubt with compelling facts. interesting to see how it plays out.

It will be interesting to see what the analysis of the data shows. SSC being shown to have faked the record attempt would be pretty incredible. It is one thing to make speculative claims about the car's potential, it is something entirely different to fake data about an actual series of runs, not to mention all of the press and video they put out. |

What would faking the top speed get them? There's no bragging rights if you didn't actually do something. I'm not sure how, in 2020 when everyone had time on their hands to over analyze everything, how they would think they could get away with this if it's complete BS. This did turn into a mess pretty quickly. Of course Dewetron is going to distance itself, they weren't there. That would seem normal to me.

Ultimate accountability on the part of this man right here. More is learned from failure than success.

If there was a bit of discrepancy maybe, but that speed is so high he would know he'd get busted for lying. You know the data would be challenged and him BS'ing about it would cost him in the long run. Don't you think
