Editorial directory profile. This is a reference entry for a production model, not an advert, offer for sale, seller representation or VIN-specific vehicle claim.

The 2022 SSC Tuatara is a limited-production American hypercar built around a mid-engine 5.9-liter twin-turbo V8. SSC rates it at 1,750 hp on E85 (or 1,350 hp on 91 octane), driving the rear wheels through a CIMA seven-speed robotized-manual transmission with Automac AMT control. Its carbon-fiber body and monocoque, active aerodynamics and 295.0-mph 2022 top-speed run underscore a speed-focused road-car brief. This is an editorial reference, not a sale listing.

BHP is reported as SSC’s E85 figure; the same official specification lists 1,350 hp on 91 octane. Exact 0–60 mph evidence was not established from an adequately credible source, so zero_to_sixty is null rather than estimated or inferred. SSC’s official page describes the transmission as a seven-speed robotized manual; it is categorized here under the fixed term Semi-Automatic. Rear-wheel drive is corroborated by New Atlas (https://newatlas.com/automotive/ssc-tuatara-acceleration-video/).
