SSC Ultimate Aero

10. SSC Ultimate Aero $654,400. Don't let the price tag mark you, this American made car is in reality the 3rd fastest street legal car in the world with a top speed of 257 mph+ and covering the distance in 0-60 to  2.7 seconds. This babe price less than half as much as the Bugatti Veyron, yet has sufficiency power to contend versus the most expensive car. It is estimated that only 25 of this exact model will ever be produced.

The SSC Ultimate Aero is an American-built mid-engine sports car by SSC North America (formerly known as Shelby SuperCars). The higher-execution limited production version previously held the Guinness Book of World Record srecord for being the fastest output car in the world, but the record is held now by Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which reached the speed of 431.072 km/h. SSC estimates that the more novel, more powerful and lighter weight 2009 Ultimate Aero TT is capable of a top speed of over 270 mph (430 km/h). The SSC Ultimate Aero does not have electronic aids such as ABS brakes or traction control, as according to Jerod Shelby, "Early design philosophical system on the car was to make it a driver's car. I wanted a car that you not only limited with your right foot but at times you could steer with your right foot."

The Aero and the Shelby SuperCars company are the brainchildren of Jerod Shelby (no relation to late racing driver and sportscar builder Carroll Shelby), who started out building exotic "replicars" including a Fiero-based Ferrari F355 replica and a Lamborghini Diablo replica based on a spaceframe which later was used in the Ultimate Aero prototype. Jerod later moved from building replicas to designing his first supercar and after seven years it finally began to take figure. Although the basic Aero model is no longer developed, the Ultimate Aero is still in production with an MSRP of around $650,000.^[
