SSC has revamped the Ultimate Aero for 2009 to make it more powerful, more aerodynamic, and even faster. SSC has increased the horse power of the car from 1183 hp to 1287 hp by modding new one-piece billet aluminum engine block that improves structural integrity and oiling capabilities. Helping to push all that horsepower through the air is a redesigned front fascia with a new center grille opening, as well as carbon fiber louvers that feed 20% more air to the radiators. The aerodynamic changes, combined with the increased power, yield an estimated 270 mph top speed. However for the interior, SSC has adding carbon fiber trim to the dash, air vents, door sills, and around the gauge cluster. A new center console features an Azentek PC Infotainment system that can process the car's onboard diagnostic system.
