BBC Top Gear posted this video today, of Shelby's new Tuatara supercar absolutely blitzing the 305mph record set by the Chiron Super Sport in 2019.
Apparently a documentary is being made about the new car and record attempt and, until then, this footage given to Top Gear is the only publicly available footage.
The Tuatara managed an average over two runs of 316mph, including a top speed of 331mph on the second run, thanks to its 1750bhp engine. Those numbers are just crazy for a road-legal production car.
What's also striking is that the speed was still climbing when the driver (Oliver Webb) backs off before he runs out of road. I'd love to see what it really maxes out at given a longer stretch of road than the 7 miles used here.
