The SSC Aero stretches its legs a little, reaching 320 km/h

We had been without any news of the monstrous SSC Aero for some time now, the supercar from SSC, the company led by Jerod Shelby. The people at SSC have released an official video of road acceleration tests, the final checks before the lucky few who can get their hands on one take delivery. Could this be a test mule for an upcoming evolution of the Aero?

Apparently, across the six acceleration runs said to have been carried out while this video was being filmed, the Aero managed to get from 0 to 320 km/h in 16 seconds. That is quite a good time, although its strength is not acceleration but the top speed of 420 km/h that SSC keeps advertising. You can watch it in action and hear it (the 7-litre sounds fantastic) after the jump.
