Shelby 2011 Ultimate Aero: Supercar September debut

Peter Chubb — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:43:24 +0000

The Shelby Ultimate Aero supercar is one fast car, so much so that it even challenged the Bugatti Veyron for a while – that’s was until the Super Sport version was released. However, there was one issue with the current Aero, it is ugly.

Shelby plan to rectify this by launching the new 2011 Supercar Ultimate Aero, and we hope that they have worked harder on its looks. We have found this with a number of carmakers who work more on aerodynamic efficiency and not on its looks.

The new Aero announcement will come in September, so we have to wait until then to see what the 2011 version will look like. However, Engadget recently learned that Shelby has acquired the skills of designer Jason Castriota for the upcoming model.

When you visit the Shelby website we get to see a tiny part of the 2011 Ultimate Aero, which looks to us to be just a section of the front fascia. Do you think that the new Aero will compete with the Veyron in looks and speed?

Shelby SuperCars set to chase Bugatti’s title

Daniel Chubb — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:23:52 +0000

You may remember that last week we reported on Bugatti’s Veyron Super Sport hitting 267.8 mph to set a new world record. Well while we all sit there thinking that this cannot possibly be broken, Shelby SuperCars have had other ideas.

For quite a while now Shelby and Bugatti have been playing a cat and mouse game with outright top speeds. First blood went to the Veyron setting a speed of 253.8 mph back in 2005, then 2 years later SSC released the wrath of their Ultimate Aero TT to take the title. But as reported Bugatti now has the ball back in their court with the Veyron SS.

According to sources at Jalopnik however, SSC are not going to roll over on this one and have a new supercar on the cards set to debut this summer. The American manufacturer will surely be attempting to regain the crown with its new Jason Castriota-designed model. We will be keeping you posted on any news of future attempts, watch this space.
