This article is about the concept model used in Asphalt 7: Heat and Asphalt 8: Airborne. For the succeeding 2020 production model, see SSC Tuatara (2020).
The 2011 SSC Tuatara Concept is a hypercar manufactured by SSC North America.
Description[]
The SSC Tuatara is the successor to the SSC Ultimate Aero and the result of a design collaboration between Jason Castriota and SSC. SSC has plans to launch the car in 2017. A production version of the SSC Tuatara was shown in August 2018.
The SSC Tuatara uses an in-house-developed billet-aluminum 6.9L (6,941 cc) twin-turbocharged V8 engine redlining at 9,200 rpm and delivering a minimum of 1350 hp (1007 kW) and 1042 ft·lb (1413 N·m), both at 6,800 rpm, while the car runs on 91 octane unleaded premium petrol gas. The V8 engine will be capable of higher outputs of up to 1700 hp (1268 kW). The car weighs 2750 lb (1247 kg) thanks to its carbon fiber construction (wheels included) and aluminum crumple zones; all this will allow the Tuatara to manage a power-to-weight ratio of over 1,000 hp per tonne.
SSC claims that the Tuatara's 0-60 mph sprint will be done in 2.5 seconds, the quarter mile in 9.75 seconds at 144 mph (232 km/h), and the projected speed 276 mph (444 km/h). The Tuatara will record 1.05 g on the skidpad and brake from 60 mph (97 km/h) to a stop in 103 ft (31 m).
SSC showcased the car's pre-production prototype and components in 2011. Production of the car had been delayed multiple times until 2017, when SSC North America's new headquarters will be at West Richland, Washington. The Tuatara is scheduled to be released in the 2019 model year, with an improvised appearance and produces 1,750 bhp with E85 flex fuel. Its main competitor is the Bugatti Chiron, the Koenigsegg Regera and the Agera RS, and the Hennessey Venom F5.

As of the 2023 Summer Update, the SSC Tuatara is now a high Class S Ultimate car with the following stats:
Performance[]
The Tuatara rivals the W Motors Lykan HyperSport, Holden Coupe 60, Lamborghini Estoque, and Mercedes-AMG GT3.
The SSC Tuatara, much like the W Motors Lykan HyperSport, features decent all-round stats, with a balance of nitro power, nitro efficiency, top speed, and handling.
With its original massive upgrade costs and inferior performance to its rivals, the Tuatara is nothing more than a collector's car. Subsequent updates after its debut have slowly pushed it from a top-tier car to a low-tier car.
The SSC Tuatara counts towards the U.S. Monsters, Extra Horses, and New World Glory collections.
As of the 2023 Summer Update, the Tuatara's performance has been improved. Compare to other cars in its class, the Tuatara has better handling and drifting, but significantly lower raw top speed, even lower than the Koenigsegg Agera RS, which has the same rank as this car. The Tuatara's nitro speed, which is 51.6 km/h with a Tuning Kit, is the highest out of all cars, and the second-highest in the entire game overall (only behind the TVS Apache RR 310 with a nitro speed of 69.9 km/h with a Tuning Kit), but is also its main weakness due to its mediocre nitro efficiency, making it unable to keep up with other cars once it runs out of nitro.
Price[]
The SSC Tuatara initially cost 950,000 to purchase, and was later changed to 750,000 or 4,750. During the Fifteenth Anniversary Update, the Tuatara could be purchased for 2,000,000 and as of the 2021 Spring Update, the Tuatara now costs 7,500.
As of the 2019 Spring Update, upgrades cost 1,215,000 while Pro Kits require 405,600, 12 of each Class S Part, 24 Mid-Techs, 16 Advanced Techs and 20 Forced-Induction V8 engines.
The 2019 Holiday Update removed upgrades for the Tuatara and replaced it with the status.
The Tuatara was obtainable by landing the dice in the Super Round and then landing on its cell or reaching Stage 2 by collecting 8,000 Treasure Points in its Treasure Rush. Players who already owned the car in the Super Round or prior to the event would get 25x Direct Upgrade - Class S in Stage 2 instead.
If the player purchased 5 bundles in the Hot Deal section that contained 25x Normal Dice, 540,000 in each bundle and on the 5th bundle, 8,000 Treasure Points, the car is unlocked.
Asphalt 7: Heat[]
The SSC Tuatara appears as a high Tier 7 car introduced in update 1.1.0 and was obtainable only from a special event.
Fully upgraded, the SSC Tuatara mainly rivals the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, Renault Alpine A110-50, Mazda Furai, and Koenigsegg Agera R. Other rivals include the Dodge Charger SRT8, Alutec Boost One, and Tesla Roadster.
The SSC Tuatara can basically be described as an excellent all-rounder, with quick acceleration (albeit inferior to certain cars like the Veyron SS), excellent handling and drifting, and decent top speed. This makes the Tuatara a good go-to car for the later stages of the Career Mode. In fact, the performance of this car is good enough to finish all of Cup 13.
With its excellent all-around stats, the Tuatara is a great prize for its performance and is recommended for use in Career mode until the player gets better cars like the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. Given that the game’s special events are getting more and more rare for newer players to progress since the game’s retirement in 2017, it is generally more recommended to directly save up to rent this car as a Tier 7 starter car.
