SSC's official response, months after getting busted "We were truly heartbroken as a company to learn we did not achieve... etc" They're still pretending they somehow misinterpreted their own data, as if they were as "surprised" as we were to learn they'd failed. As if they honestly couldn't tell the difference between 240 and 330 mph.

I'm not so sure those speeds are on the cards for Jesko Absolute. It may be slick, but "only" 1600 hp migh never suffice for a car whith side by side driver and passenger. Typically, we're told the power it takes to go a given speed take the power of the speed squared. However, 100 hp cars can get close to around 200 kph, but to go 400 kph, you really need 800 hp, it seems. So rather the cube of speed. To go 10% faster then takes 33% more power.

Before even watching more than 30 seconds of this video, I can tell you with absolute certainty it would be very easy to calculate exactly how fast the car was going, simply by measuring the distance between landmarks, and there are a lot of them in the form of little road signs, and the time it takes to pass each one. In fact such a calculation would be far more accurate than even the car's speedometer.

@srinitaaigaura Год назад

A phone would be accurate to the nearest kmph or mph, just a few decimal points off maybe, but in this day and age if a supercar manufacture can't even check with a phone they're either exceptionally dumb or a fraud.

@pumpkinheadghoul 11 месяцев назад

@@juanfichtl2011 Well, I wasn't talking about down to the 100th of a second. Speed records aren't really measured to that degree anyway. I mean, they certainly can be, but other than on closed course tracks like drag strips or race tracks, breaking land speed records isn't really calculated to such degrees. In fact, TRUE land speed records are calculated by averaging two runs. Just saying.

@Curveball 2 года назад

Bugatti has an advantage when testing top speed. They have a private race track (Ehra-Lessien) dedicated to high speed runs that they (VW) obviously will not let other manufacturers set records on. The SSC's first record over the Veyron was set on a real highway in the USA. I still remember people thinking the Veyron was the fastest car, even with videos showing a Koenigsegg smacking Bugatti's around in roll racing. Bugatti setting records on their track is less impressive to me since it's an obvious advantage.

But these American pretenders dont have to worry about any of that because they wont ever crash test or do any kind of government approval of any kind. No emissions, no safety features...

Finally someone noticed something super odd about the dyno graph, did some reverse image searches, and found that the dude had stole someone else's dyno graph. He was called on it and still tried to defend it. More and more of his lies unraveled, then he used some lame excuse about how he "accidentally" uploaded the wrong image, but of course was called on that too, considering he tried to defend it the entire time.

I find it hard to believe they actually believed they went 331mph -- the tach readings alone should have pointed to the error in calculation. One of the toughest things to design a car for high speed is providing the gearing to do so. If the actual speed was, say, 280mph the difference in engine rpm would be 331/280 or 18% -- how do you miss that? Additionally, the landmarks the car passed gave it away and how did they not know that?

@Bob Watters Still, on their second run they went almost 40mph slower than their first top speed run, and calculations show that irl speed might have been 60mph or more below their listed speed. That is not a minor error that can be excused in calculations. Basically there is no reason for them to be more than a few mph off at most when doing their theoretical gear x rpm speed calcuations. There are no real factors that can throw off the number by any significant amount. Tyre deformation is about the only one I can think of and even that only poses a marginal error. Beisdes that, it's pretty much straight highschool math nothing more. Fine if they make a mistake, but then doubling down on it when people question them, instead of double checking their own findings is NOT a proper way to go about claiming a top speed record. It shows they care more about receiving the record, less about earning it.

To be fair, the 280 run was limited by the length of the runway. So probably it is capable for more, even 300mph according to calculations. However there is a big silence since then. So it is suspicious why they don’t write history and be the first 300mph production car…

@Real_MisterSir 2 года назад

@@grievuspwn4g3 I mean, they have to do a production run for the record to be valid in the first place, so either we will have a chance to see it happen again - or their record will be taken from them if they don't produce the planned number of cars.

@@juzoli Oh, that is fair. I haven't been following the whole situation since the "331mph" run, but Nolan mentioned in the video the truck carrying the car to another testing location was tipped over by strong wind, so that most likely damaged the hypercar and delayed more runs. No idea how old is that piece of news though, and if they are still repairing the car. I wish them all the best though. I am not against them, I just hate cheating.

Ah yes. The memory of the time. Personally, i'm pretty excited when SSC announced they reach 331 MPH at October 2020 with Tuatara.

Just one question. If this is a truly “Production car” then why is there only one car to do the testing with? If it is a production car then there should be plenty of other examples to test. Why haven’t they done the run with another example of the car? The answer is that this car is a one off car that will never actually be a production car.

Quite sure every manufacturer is given a certain time period from day of the record to homologate and manufacture all the units or atleast the minimum number of units required for production car eligibility.

@ImmortanDan 2 года назад

That’s a dumb take. All of these cars are *limited* production cars, lumped in with the others because they are also built to be road-legal. Each of them sells for way over a million, and much of that money is spent just making it. Of course they wouldn’t want to use more than a couple cars for testing, because then you have to build more hideously expensive cars that you might not be able to sell. The Porsche 959 - also a low-volume production car - couldn’t be certified in the US simply because at the time you had to send several examples of your car to be destroyed in crash tests, and Porsche could not afford to give away like 3 more of its $600,000-to-build 959s.

Those who know engineering just know this sort of thing is BS when they see it.
