Looks like we've got a new production hypercar setting a new record in top speed for this decade opener, folks.

Re: SSC Tuatara
I am a little surprised SSC isnt getting more press for this accomplishment. When Koenigsegg hit 278 a couple years ago it was a pretty big deal in the car world, the same was true when Bugatti hit 304 a couple months ago... and obliterating the Bugatti speed with a 330 should be a huge deal, yet for whatever reason not many people are talking about it. I bet if you went to cars and coffee or something and polled rando car enthusiasts, a lot of them would be completely unaware of the existence of a botique exotic car manufacturer named SSC and their speed record (they'd all know about Koenigsegg and Bugatti tho).

Re: SSC Tuatara
Both bugatti and koenigsegg have made multiple hypercar models in the past that they got their own recognition for being fastest while ssc haven't quite made a production car before that could go beyond 250mph.
The ones they had back then were mostly just prototypes so i think it's safe to assume that this is the first time they ever did this, although this is truly a nice accomplishment for somebody based outside of europe that's also as small as them.
