(UPI) A U.S. company captured the title of world's fastest production car when its latest model reached an average speed of 316.11 mph.
SSC North America has announced that the Tuatara hypercar was tested outside Las Vegas in a pair of high speed runs on Nevada State Highway 160 in opposite directions, allowing for the company to account for factors like wind and road variations.

SSC said the Tuatara is the second car made by the company to hold the title of world's fastest production car. The record was previously broken in 2007 by SSC's Ultimate Aero car.
The company said it plan a production run of 100 Tuatara cars to be sold commercially.
