Shelby SuperCars spent more than seven years designing, developing, and executing the ultimate driver's car. The result is the Ultimate Aero TT.

Powered by a forced induction V8 engine (with Chevrolet roots), the two-seat super car is for the guy or girl whose neighbors all probably drive Lambos, Ferraris, or Carrera Gts, and he or she just wanted something a little different.

Made completely of carbon fiber composite, save for the doors, hood and trunk, the body has a total weight of 131 lbs (Before the addition of all other components). The Aero TT is powered by a 387.2 cubic-inch twin-turbocharged V8 that achieves 1183 horsepower at 6950 rpm, with 1094 pound-feet of torque.

The mid-engine, rear drive layout of the Aero TT, helps add to the downforce needed to put the nearly 1200 horsepower to the ground. Performance is so potent that the Guiness World Records verified in October 2007 that with twin passes that averaged 256.18 mph, the Aero TT is officially the "Fastest Production Car in the world." This is the first time since the Ford GT40 held the record in 1967, that an American manufacturer has held the title. Estimated top speed in the Aero TT is 273 mph.

Creature comforts inside the Aero TT include a custom leather interior, air conditioning, power windows and mirrors, 10 speaker premium audio/video system, DVD Navigation/Backup camera and a gas controlled front lift to help navigate road hazards.

The Shelby SuperCars Ultimate Aero TT is the hotrod for those who feel the garden variety of supercars are too common. With production scheduled for around 25 cars, you will certainly be running in very rare air.
