ULTIMATE AERO
Indian automobile manufacturers will have to face the toughest competition in the Indian automobile market, because the US- based automobile manufacturer, Shelby Super Car(SSC) is now ready to hit the Indian roads by launching its “Ultimate Aero” in the Indian market. “Ultimate Aero” is considered as the world’s fastest car with a maximum speed of 413kmph, and it can travel as fast as a jetliner. SSC has decided to launch this car initially in Mumbai and then in Delhi. India will be the third market where this car is sold after the US and Russia. “Ultimate Aero” will be the most expensive car to be sold in India at a price of Rs. 6 crore after the car ‘Maybach’ from Mercedes-Benz. This fastest car gained its speed with a 6.35L twin-turbo V8 engine which runs at 14PSI of boost and produces 1147hp of power at 6950 rpm and 1113NM of torque at 6200 rpm, with a 91 octane fuel. The car is built of lightweight titanium and carbon fibre material to minimize weight. The front face of the car is built with improved aerodynamics and carbon fiber, which provides additional air to the radiators for better cooling. The AeroBrakeTM system has been introduced in this car. It also comes with a host of luxury features including customized supple leather seats and suede interior, multi-speaker music system, on-board video and DVD screen, automatic back-up camera, navigational backup, power windows and mirrors. “Ultimate Aero” is really an example of American craftsmanship. It would be the first high-speed car sold in India and hope that in the future, it will compete with other super cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Koenigsegg.
