@B Rush I don't doubt you man. If the manufacturer has turned around and stated the video footage for whatever reasons has "discrepancies" then to go on and use them as a baseline seems a little futile! Anyway looking forwards to the next run!🇺🇸

@Engineering Explained Now do the reverse calculation of crank power in Stradmans video where the Tuatara is on full power @9:40-9:54, sound->rpm->speed, from known transmission and tires, now feed your sheet and you will notice power is well under half of what SSC claim. Now go back and do your homework, for this week: Don't ever trust numbers given to you by someone known for lying! Frontal area is another one easy to debunk, the front view is in the gps overlay, use it to calculate real frontal area instead of the made up numbers SSC feed us.

Them: We have the data to show this is real. Us: Can you provide the data so we can verify it? Them: No. Us: Thank you for playing, NEXT!

Too be Fair now they have tried twice and failed twice.

Moral of the story, trust but verify,

It did hit 240 on Stradman's channel in 5th. Two more gears to go so....

Why are we relying on the equpiment in the car for the speed? Why are there not say ten different speed traps along each stretch of road? It is pretty simple to time a car across a 66 foot distance, like in drag racing. The car breaks a beam and a timer starts. The car then breaks a second beam and the timer stops. The distance between beams is know, thus you get the car's average speed over a short distance. If they want to be more precise just shorten the length of the speed trap to minimize any additional acceleration in either direction. All this GPS tracking, car instruments, etc. should only be used as a verification tool and not as the main validation method.

Great video, I have also seen Jesko Absolut's video. While calculating the theoretical top speed of SSC Tuatara the transmission efficiency taken is 0.94 but for Agera RS the efficiency was 0.94*0.93 so taking that 0.93 into account and also 70Kg driver's weight Top speed is coming 337mph and taking the same conditions (Air density, Rolling Resistance, and Trans. efficiency) Jesko is giving 331.25 mph (533kph), though Jesko Absolut has less Cd, downforce, and mass, that 110kW extra power of SSC Tuatara will surpass the Jesko. in the top speed test. If Jesko had this 110kW more power it can achieve a top speed of 346.73 mph. Looking into the theoretical calculation, SSC Tuatara can beat 331mph as well.

i hope ur math is on point.. I believe the car can and did and will do it again... I believe in u too.. impressive simple math.. u kick ass

Teacher: "Train A, traveling 40 mph, leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. One hour after Train A leaves Westford, Train B, traveling 70 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet?" Jason: Pulls out white board.... This guy must have killed it in algebra

So this translated to 251.2mph, before it began to disintegrate lol

1:11

Fantastic.

The Love Boat, soon will be making another run. This car, probably not.

It's okay to pause for a second or two now and then.

Look at the bright side, you are a lot less likely to get a speeding ticket with the speedometer reading higher than actuality.

Bugatti Bolide?

Nevada is pronounced like short a in cat

But you cannot even guess the theoretical top speed based only on those factors..... I mean you can, if you couch it as totally theoretical, but if you couch it as potential.... which this video seems to do, you are in a world of problems. Tyres: What are their tolerances. Temperatures: How are you controlling them. Pressures: How are they regulated ....f*ck it... this list will be a hundred points long if I list everything. They already tried and rerun and failed because of elements like this though,.... temperatures I believe. These guys faked it so badly, and they will need to provide the details regarding the science and engineering behind the individual failure points/elements, of the car, to ever realistically be considered to even have a "Theoretical" top speed of anything close to 350 mph.

Definitely no election meddling

We're not trying to figure out if it was possible for the record to have been broken. The burden is on them to release unedited footage, or have independent observers there to observe the validity of the record. Their run is obviously invalid regardless of the mere possibility that it was broken. I might do whatever I want in my room, but to claim that I broke a record I would need to have and provide proof of it sufficient to satisfy a reasonable person, otherwise we're doing a disservice to not only to the current record holder, but also to anyone who is contending for the title in the future.

Thusly, according to my calculations... Henceforth, therefore and what have you...

Go to the salts flats for records. Simple?

I think it's 331 kmph, 🤣🤣🤣

They used a finaldrive of 3.454. Compare other videos off ssc like "brutal acceleration" or when stradman joined in the cabine and hitted 242mph. There yoy also see the rev of engine.

You're freaking amazing dude 😁 thanks and keep it up! I'll be watching for that second run & more videos-:)

Jason, gonna need that Power Calculation on the New Hennessey Venom F5. just as a good comparison to the Jesko Absolut and SSC "Theoretical" Top Speed

Maybe the settings got stuck on kmh😂

Is this a joke? You called Shelby to get it sorted out? The same guy who published the fraudulent results? Either EE has a very dry sense of humor, or I’m missing something.

How can you possibly say ‘a correction factor of 1.46’ with a straight face?

Guys can figure all this out.. but still don’t know what we said wrong 😂😂😂

At a base price of 1.9 million who really cares, sales tax where I live would be greater than $78K, and then another $182.00 a day personal property tax, just to let it sit in my garage, not me, I could not sleep at night.

NOOOOO,... NOT MATH❗️😱🤢🤮☠️

"Damn we got found out, but we will do it soon" Only in America

love this guy bruh!

The run was real, the results no so real.

V well explained and presented. Great job.

Damn, this is some hard core geek porn!!! I mean HARD core intellectual rape. I'm loving it!

312 people disliked this because accurate data and math doesn't win races or records lol. (sarcasm)

its extremely hard to get a car go above 300mph. need massive engine power and aero need to be almost like a butter knife. the hardest part is probably tires. at that speed tires expand and could rupture very easily.

I think they took dyno data ... and added it to the video .. No air resistance in the dyno plus that resistance can be adjusted on the wheels. Regards Nico Larsson Ps I do not think the speed is from the GPS. It is the real speed from the speedometer but from a dyno run.

This is a good theory, but I don’t think they would be able to accurately match the shifting.

Tuatara takes close to 10 seconds to accelerate from 250mph to 300mph. Please calculate the hp (power) necessary to accomplish this. Utter BS.

Tuatara takes close to 10 seconds to accelerate from 250mph to 300mph. I think that this is utterly impossible for the given specs.

anyone know when will ssc again perform the top speed run ?

Jason could end the 2020 Presidential election debate with one whiteboard and four colors.

Integration 101, lol.

I don't know fast cars, I drive boats and you feel the difference in maximum speed and 2/3 max. I also would never use Dewetron equipment again. You should never be able to dial in a correction factor. Lastly I typically have three GPS' on board not one. there is signal latency between GPS units. Anyway the car looks fast and has the power to put up big numbers.

Y=mx+b

Hmm sound's like they're hiding something

I think they left in the high DF gearing and then scaled results to the Vmax gearing.....maybe?...

Maybe, but this doesn’t explain a 20 mph reading from a standstill

Hilarious and very informative. This is as bad as all the UK built race engines that shipped to the US, rebadged and then suddenly gain 10% BHP. Still, stunning car whatever the numbers. Can't wait for the follow up.

When he says "CORRECTION FACTOR" thats actually the cheating factor. The faking factor.

A VAG 'correction factor' 🤔?

Its funny how they use the Koenigsegg run as base for corrections. Because they know Koenigsegg DIDNT CHEAT.

This world speed record was verified by Donald J Trump.

Curious - what is the formula solved for Vmax? I admit I am lost solving for that with V in the equation used twice.

Well done

Koenigsegg wannabe

Maybe they need to have a rule that they must go through a designated speed trap for the record. All this extra ways of figuring is crazy and can be wrong.

Could it be that the video footage is not running at 100% speed? So that 1 second of video is not 1 second in real life?

Yayyyyy integrals I love thoseeeee

Great video, but you keep using the term “possible” when you really mean “plausible” which makes us purist philosophers go crazy! 😄

Dude I totally feel undereducated after watching your videos

A fraud/lie coming out of Nevada.... that never happens....

My brain hurts

Data Acquisition devices can have a lot more configuration issues to resolve before gathering good data than one would think. I have used a couple different packages in the past and you need to realize these are tools and you can use them in a variety of ways. Just like a hammer can make a fine adjustment or break a device. It’s all about how it is used. I think it’s totally possible one of the settings (of which there are many ) could have missed something potentially as simple as elevation or had a mis step on the filtering of the velocity data. No matter what you think, the signals are never 100 percent pure and without noise it’s the natural state of things. There’s a paradox that happens between filtering out the noise and getting very fast updates you can get one or the other pretty easy but getting both at the same time gets increasingly difficult as the sample rate increases because the events you’re monitoring are happening faster and getting noisier...

Google maps ain't that accurate....

This guy Schmee is into high end luxury cars and rare cars. So it would not be too far fetched if it turns out that Koeniggsegg paid him to create the confusion!!

water1051

Vor Monat

There is no confusion. The record was fraudulent. The only confusion is coming from SSC not publishing the data.

why didn't anyone assume the correction factor was in the video footage itself. 30 frames per second instead of 24 frames per second. That would explain the problem I believe.

Good theory, but it doesn’t explain a 20 mph reading from the GPS when the car is still stopped.

All that tech and not a laser radar unit in the house?

No way, that would have showed the true speed of 250-260

SSC has a lot of press right now👏👏

“Theoretically it’s possible to scale and filter any input values...” Maybe this math and “edited input values” explains the Nov presidential election in the US. Sincerely, Rudy Giuliani Hahaha.

Vor 27 Tage

Sounds like SSC brought max downforce package cars for a vmax run, either they screwed up and brought the wrong cars or their vmax gearboxes weren't ready or reliable for a vmax run and then fudged the data because their claimed speeds aren't far off the theoretical top speeds for the specs they claim for the vmax box but the speeds they seemed to have run by video analysis are close to the max downforce car's theoretical top speed.

Busted you lost all you're weapons and paid a bribe

So.. what you are saying is... Biden isn't going to be confirmed as President?

When all of you gonna be proven wrong 😃 oh boy I will slap you

Just a guess, perhaps someone wanted to apply some low pass filtering like: Vnew = a*Vprev + (1-a)*Vcurrent But accidentally missed the ”1-” part :)

I don´t want to enter in the loop of comments questioning if one can trust on the organizations that certify world speed records. Something interesting that I noticed here, is that the Cx has been declared as Cx=0.279 and then SSC has provided to this youtuber with Cx= 0.314 @ 500km/h with a set up to get just the necessary downforce for power transfer and no turn maneuvers (I assume due to compressibility effects). I know that SSC has measured the previous vehicle model (Ultimate Aero) at the NASA Langley Wind Tunnel and that nowadays nobody tests a ground vehicle in wind tunnels at more than (about) 230 km/h. I would appreciate if someone here has run CFD on different sports cars at very high speeds and calculated all the aero-coefficients (benchmarking 😄 )

great video as usual... you do a great job explaining the math behind what you do.

Was the camera frame speed verified?

I guess it’s not too bad they were only off by 108 miles I think anybody could make a boo-boo

Deepfake

An iPhone with speedometer app will tell you exactly how fast your going, it uses GPS data...put couple of them in the car and record the speed. I don't understand all the hoopla around this subject

Not at 331 mph..>!!!

If only there were markings on the street in regular, known intervals..

Since the koenesig run- changed grades and all

Yawn, thanks for the good nap.

Okay, nice analysis. If I followed, the GPS data and the speedometer data displayed on the laptop (or was the just GPS data on the laptop?) don't agree with video, and the video analysis shows the lower speed. Questions: 1) If the laptop showed the speedometer, why would both the GPS data and speedometer be off by precisely the same amount? That's very odd that two independent speed measurement systems would be incorrect by an identical factor, isn't it? 2) Were the medians noted from the video feed from inside the car or outside? If from outside, then it could still be from the wrong video for the medians vs. the GPS overlay. 3) When's the new speed run scheduled?

They pulled a Nikola!

Metric bro.. Please.. Metric.. 🤣

This makes me wonder why a simple speed trap was not used? Not as sexy as RGB computer or overlay. But X number of distance covered in X amount of time does not lie...

I think Dewetrons email says it all. “I believe that the car CAN”,not did or has ran, “a record speed...”. I just want to see another run with multiple unbiased monitors. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt BUT as a Master Volkswagen Technician I know widespread cheating can be performed by the most unlikely sources, covered up, and carried out for decades if someone doesn’t monitor these things and ask the hard questions. I find it fascinating that an average joe uses more validating sources, gps, phones, video, and etc, to prove a cannonball record run than a major manufacturer uses for a world speed record. SSC probably in the shop building a tungsten car encased in a sabot. who’s got a huge rail gun? Maybe all of Vegas’s nuclear radiation effects telemetry data. Lol.

I have a question. My wife asked me a question yesterday I didn’t have the answer for. She asked me. In high cross wind conditions on the free way would it be safer to travel at a lower speed 50mph or higher 80mph if the cross winds are gusts of 40mph. I would guess that a higher speed would be safer but I’m not sure. Help

alex vagny

Vor 2 Monate

slow down if there is crosswind because the car gets lift or less downforce. Same when you are exiting from a tunnel because you don´t know if there will be gusts of cross wind outside the tunnel.

The real record they were going for was fastest destruction of potential sales.

We are learning the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) Theorem in my calculus class this week. At 2:00 - 2:55 you reference the instantaneous speed never being equal to the average speed, which is what the MVT theorem states must be true at atleast one point. Thought this was a very cool real world application of what I'm learning in my college level classes from highschool. Thank you😎

Here's the truth the car didn't reach that speed

Ah, at 9:11 Thoughts and prayers to all Imperial measurement users. 0.05 Miles. If we had 0.05 Km we'd just say "50m". Don't you wish you could do that with miles to yards and feet?

The beauty of this machine is it's NOT ELECTRIC and weights 2700 lbs. Just running cleaner E85 adds 400[!] more horsepower - NO BATTERIES REQUIRED. Internal Combustion Engines will never die with results like this - 1,774 horsepower.
