Shrouded in mystery and secrecy, SSC has announced plans to unveil the next historical milestone – the Ultimate Aero EV (Electric Vehicle), the first 100% Green Supercar to achieve speeds never before seen. Engineering details are yet undisclosed while development continues at an uninterrupted pace. Despite months of speculation, SSC expects to roll out its first prototype in February 2009.
“I think we can do it faster, leaner and cleaner than any other manufacturer” says Jerod Shelby, SSC Founder.
Unlike other manufacturers’ models slated for delivery in the next decade, Shelby’s latest brainchild expects to be delivered as early as fourth quarter 2009. Other automakers have sacrificed aesthetics and performance in exchange for hybrid power plants, but the Ultimate Aero EV will deliver a pollution-free, engineering marvel with an exotic Supercar exterior. The drive train under development will feature a revolutionary power source allowing for extended time between charging intervals with the possibility of several years between charging. Powered by a 500 horsepower electric motor, the Ultimate Aero EV will have true supercar performance. Additionally, SSC is exploring the potential of a twin 500 horsepower electric powerplant producing 1,000 horsepower in a 2 or 4 wheel drive configuration.
Having already broken one world record, SSC will soon break the engineering challenge of our time. Says Jay Leno of SSC’s first accomplishment, “The coolest thing about this car is they said they were going to do something and then they did it.”
While other manufacturers scramble to capture the Green hysteria of late, SSC will leap over the barrier with a fraction of the Big Three’s budget.
Consistent with its company philosophy of being the benchmark, SSC plans next to break the record for the fastest electric car in the world.
