American supercar manufacturer Shelby SuperCars (SSC) is the same company behind the Ultimate Aero. This company has recently taken the wraps off its latest creation, which will be named name Tuatara (pronounced twu’tar’ah).
“The design specifications for the Next Generation SSC were so extreme; we knew early on that a proper name would be a key piece of the puzzle for this project,” says Jerod Shelby, Founder, Lead Designer and CEO of SSC.
This word – Tuatara – comes from a lizard that lives down in New Zealand. Tuatara comes from the Maori language, and means “peaks on the back,” which is quite fitting, given the winglets on the back of the new car. It seems the tuatara lizard is a rather unique creature, and the reptile possesses the fastest evolving DNA on the planet. Also, the Tuatara supercar features a set of rear peaks of its own, courtesy of the uniquely styled rear wings.
