The Ultimate Aero - one among the fastest cars in the world is coming to India. The Aero which can reach half the speed of a jetliner cruising at 30,000 ft will be sold in India for over 6 Crores thus making it the most expensive car available in the Country.
Its maker, the US-based Shelby Super Car (SSC), has decided to launch the car in Mumbai in the next few months and follow it up with a Delhi launch.
India will be the third market where the car, with a recorded speed of 413 kilometres per hour (257 mph), is sold after the US and Russia.
The Aero, produced only in the US, costs around $654,400 (more than Rs 3 crore). Indian customers will have to pay much more for the Aero because of the country’s high import duties of up to 100%. The Mercedes-Benz Maybach, currently the costliest car sold in India, is priced around Rs 5 crore.
The Aero Specs are:
- a fuel-injected 6.35-litre twin-turbo charged V8 engine
- 1,183 bhp of power
- 0-60 km/hour in 2.7 seconds
- built of lightweight titanium and carbon fibre material to minimise weight
- two-seater
- Gull-wing door (up sky-folding)
- car runs only on premium unleaded 91
The Aero - which will compete with other supercars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Koenigsegg - comes with a host of luxury features including
- customised supple leather seats
- suede interior
- multi-speaker music systemon-board video and DVD screen
- automatic back-up camera
- navigational backup
- power windows and mirrors
Shelby expects to sell a few dozen of Aeros in India every year. The conservative estimate is due to the high price tag and the poor condition of Indian roads. Asia’s third-largest economy will take a few years to see such super cars in large numbers, as it doesn’t have the kind of highway infrastructure required for such vehicles.
The Ultimate Aero would be the first high-speed car sold in India.
