SSC North America Debuts Its Latest Creation: The 2020 Tuatara Hypercar

Dubbed the 2020 Tuatara, this hypercar is fueled by a 5.8-liter V8 engine equipped with twin turbochargers, pumping out fuel at an estimate 1,750 bhp. Designed by Jason Castriota, the car incorporates a class-leading 0.279 drag coefficient which significantly eliminates the risk of aquaplaning whilst driving at incredibly high speed.

Paired to a CIMA 7 speed transmission, the 2020 Tuatara shifts gear in a matter of milliseconds and is both lightweight and sturdy, featuring a carbon fiber exterior with a robust carbon-fiber monocoque secondary layer, fashioned from aerospace-grade carbon fiber in the Pacific Northwest, push-button dihedral doors, plus an immersive user-focused touchscreen infotainment system with various driving modes, tire pressures, complete diagnostics, rear and blind-spot cameras, a Front Lift Mode which raises the nose 1.6 inches whilst traversing obstacles, climate control, and music, amongst a multitude of other components.
