However, the SSC Tuatara wasn't even moving under its own power at the time of the accident. It was being transported in a closed car carrier to an auto show in Florida. Due to strong winds, the truck tipped over on its side.
Both truck drivers were injured in the accident, and the SSC Tuatara visually has very serious damage. However, the founder of the American company, Jerod Shelby, stated that the main components of the car are intact and the hypercar will be restored within a few weeks.
Moreover, in the near future, the SSC Tuatara will make another attempt to improve its own speed record. Recall that the officially recorded achievement of the 1750-horsepower hypercar is an average speed of 455.2 km/h based on the results of two runs.
However, earlier the SSC Tuatara was even accelerated to 532.93 km/h, but the result was questioned due to inconsistencies in the video. But the Americans are not giving up and plan to again reach speeds exceeding 500 km/h.
