Just when you thought that the maximum automotive speed limit had been set, along comes the [Shelby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelby-mustang-mache-gt-concept) SuperCar's Next Generation. The Next Generation (the car is unnamed as of yet) is set to be the [world's fastest supercar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreame-technology-hypercar), clocking in at an amazing 275 mph.

The Shelby SuperCar's Next Generation was created to take back the crown of "World's Fastest Production Car," a title which SSC captured in 2007 with the Ultimate Aero. That car *only* did 257.41 mph and was eventually overtaken by the awe-inspiring Bugatti Veyron.

The Shelby SuperCar's Next Generation is back to reclaim the crown, with an engine pumping out [1,350 horsepower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beast-by-john-dodd) and a top speed of 275 mph! If you would like to get your hands on all of this speed, prepare to pay up. The Shelby SuperCar's Next Generation has a price tag of $970,000. Your move, Bugatti.
