Topspeed is a great measure of a supercars' ability and SCC plan to prove their Aero can beat 250 mph. SSC has yet to verify the Ultimate Aero's performance, but they say that the car should be possible of of 260 to 273 mph.

Even though the car remains untested, Forbes is happy to report that the Aero is already the fastest car in America.

This Ultimate Aero is the fourth car to come from SSC's Washington facilities and it is by far the their most extreme. It shares all the elements with its predecessors, except #4 is much lighter and has an engine to the tune of 1050 bhp!

Each Aero has a heavily modified Corvette engine which is forced fed by a supercharger. It's supported in a steel space frame and covered by a carbon fibre body.

While we are sure SSC have only produced the single black on copper Ultimate, they can build another for $654,500.
