The Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo built by Washington State based Shelby Supercars (not affiliated to Carrol Shelby's Shelby Automobiles) now holds the crown of the fastest production car in the world. To help you understand what an incredible feat it is; to attain such speeds on a production car, I'm going to quote Captain Slow from Episode 2 ,Season 9 of Top Gear (Feb.4th 2007) - "And when you think that the Veyron has airbags, air conditioning, stereo, a boot and all the other stuff F1 cars aren't burdened with, you realize what an incredible machine this is".
One thing that I found quite interesting with Ultimate Aero is that given the Bugatti Veyron is 987 HP and Ultimate Aero TT is 1183 HP, with its Lamborghini Diablo kit-car appearance it looks deceptively half as powerful as the Veyron does.
