About $720,000
It's difficult to imagine that a company that started out building kits to turn your Pontiac Fiero (a horrid little pseudo sports car) into a Ferrari replica could also come up with the Ultimate Aero. But that's what happened when US-based SSC (Shelby Supercars Company) got serious a couple of years ago.
The Ultimate Aero uses a twin-turbo 6.3-litre V8 that, while it started life with a Chevrolet part number, is a 1000-plus-horsepower proposition.
Typically of the North Americans, the idea was to bump the Bugatti Veyron off the top of the top-speed ladder. This it did in 2007, when Rick Doria took the SSC to 412.28km/h.
