Think back to high school. Do you remember the "cool cars" in the school parking lot? The IT guys at school had EVOs, one kid had a Cobalt SS, and one had a souped 2001 Trans Am.

Never seen a trailer- hitch mounted spare tire on a Benz before. Really blocking that license plate.

Buy quality people. We have a "spare vehicle" but I keep a battery tender on it. Bought a cheap AutoZone MasterCraft battery for it and this is the 3rd battery in 2 years. Just won't hold a charge.

I fully charged it and took to autozone. They tested it and said it passed. So i had to reinstall and run my lights for 5 minute. Then it failed. Sigh.

I've found one for sale and copied the specs below in case you're interested. Might be slightly different than you see in the video because the specs are 2 years older than this being shown. Used today is still listed at $150,000. wow.

An incisive design, strong in the knowledge that it's a classical style looking to the future. The level of performance is the maximum in this category, thanks to the choice of spirited engines, able to develop a lively power. Refinement and elegance are the two continuous themes, applied to all the solutions adopted: from the sporty seats, with their enveloping structure (that guarantees good support both lateral and lengthwise, appropriate for the characteristics of the boat) to the reclining chair with its footrests that offer the thrilling "fast" driving, designed for that taste of all-round freedom.

View MoreSSC North America, formerly Shelby Supercars (not related to Carrol Shelby) created the SSC Tuatara. SSN NORTH AMERICA & JEROD SHELBY An engineer by the name of Jerod Shelby, with a history and passion for cars and racing, founded a supercar company with one goal: design and manufacture an American supercar that would stand up against the European dominated industry of high performance production cars. The dream was clear, but the road to success was grueling. The complexity of designing a supercar is a process vastly underestimated by many people, requiring an unimaginable amount of time, labor, and money. Jerod and his team at Shelby SuperCars overcame these barriers and have since become the first great American supercar company. SHELBY SUPERCARS TO SSC NORTH AMERICA After breaking into the world automotive spotlight, the company was renamed SSC North America to identify as a separate entity from Carroll Shelby International, an unrelated automotive firm, and to distinguish itself as a supercar company based in North America, a unique stature in the supercar industry. SSN TUATARA WEBSITE ~ www.sscnorthamerica.com/tuatara AVG. TOP SPEED ~ 316 mph AERODYNAMICS ~ 0.279 PERFORMANCE ~ 1750 hp The Tuatara is a hypercar unlike any other. It is the culmination of over a decade of research and development to produce a road legal, high performance vehicle capable of delivering an otherworldly driving experience. Influenced by fighter jet aerodynamics and performance, the presence of the Tuatara inspires a sense of both intensity and simplistic design. Its striking profile is futuristic in its function, yet timeless in its form. STRIKING PRESENCE The striking body of the Tuatara was designed in collaboration with world renowned designer Jason Castriota. The alluring curves offer simplistic and aerodynamic qualities, while maintaining a unique profile that stands out from the rest. Butterfly doors offer both spacious cab egress and stunning curbside attraction. A riveting transformation occurs when the front and rear deck lids are lifted, exposing the robust carbon fiber monocoque and intricate suspension system. In the forward deck, a storage compartment offers room for luggage and other possessions to be stowed. In the rear, the powerful and jaw-dropping powertrain is unveiled, a work of automotive art. SOPHISTICATED SIMPLICITY The interior of the Tuatara embodies the same precocious functionality and simplistic guise found in its exterior. The teardrop canopy provides the driver and passenger with sweeping views. An advanced and beautiful HMI (Human-Machine Interface) gives the driver critical driving and vehicle information on a digital driver display, as well as a centrally located information console, where almost all functionality and information is available at the touch of a finger. UNMATCHED AERODYNAMICS The design of the Tuatara goes further than visual appearance. The intentional design of the body was meticulously crafted to carry the car through the air with unprecedented ease. Boasting a coefficient of drag lower than any other car in its class, the Tuatara is well balanced between unmatched aerodynamics and precision downforce at top speed. INTENTIONAL FORM Rear static winglets, side mounted buttresses, forward static wing, and a rear active wing manipulate the smooth flowing air to distribute precision down force on the wheels. Air is also diverted to intakes that efficiently cool the powerful drive train, then expelled through perforations in the body to sustain the deliberate airflow. Downforce is systematically applied across the hypercar, providing perfect balance at all speeds. ELEGANCE MEETS POWER The heart of the Tuatara is an engineering masterpiece in and of itself. Years of meticulous design and engineering at SSC North America culminated into unadulterated power generated from an engine built from the ground up exclusively for the Tuatara. With a flat-plane crank configuration, the smooth, balanced power produced offers both incredible performance and a unique hypercar experience. To ensure the engine met the standards of quality, performance, and durability that the hypercar market demands, SSC North America partnered with Nelson Racing Engines to fabricate and manufacture the V8 engine that powers this next generation hypercar.

Did it mention the price tag? how many places on the planet can you get a car up to that speed?

Steve Blu

I didn't see a price tag. Obviously we're looking at something in the 7-figure range.
