‘Tuatara’, new supercar from Shelby

Shelby SuperCars (SSC) announced yesterday that its new supercar will be called Tuatara (pronounced twu‐tar‐ah). The name is inspired by a modern day New Zealand reptile that bears the same name. The reptile is a direct descendent of the dinosaur and its name is translated from the Maori language means “peaks on the back”. Due to this, the supercar features the winglets on the back. The Tuatara possesses the fastest evolving DNA in the world, and amongst the world’s greatest supercar manufacturers, so does SSC.

“The design specifications for the Next Generation SSC were so extreme; we knew early on that a proper name would be a key piece of the puzzle for this project,” says Jerod Shelby, Founder, Lead Designer and CEO of SSC. Mr. Shelby explains, “Most manufacturers essentially use the same basic model and body shape for up to 10 years, while only making small refinements to it each year. After only three years in production with the Ultimate Aero, SSC’s Tuatara is about to monumentally evolve in the areas of sophistication, design, aerodynamics and shear all‐around performance. We felt that the fastest evolving DNA was a perfect definition of SSC’s latest project.”
