The SSK was a beautifully styled and outrageously fast vehicle, having been fitted with a range of 6-straight petrol engines ranging in power output from 200 hp to 250 hp.
The latter and most powerful engine of the range pushed the car to a top speed of 119 mph (190 km/h) via a 4-speed manual transmission mated to a rear-wheel drive system. Power and stamina were matched by looks corresponding to those of a veritable road-thresher, with a variety of body-types sporting the signature right-side triple exhaust tubing, stylish front fender cuts, multiple-spoke wheels and even front fenders separate from the rest of the body.
