I saw a red on black pic of this I think and thought it looked pretty sweet, but yeah it's a tank, albeit a fast balla one.

amazingly, it'll beat almost anything around a track. it's the sickest piece of engineering ever. bugatti takes a loss at the $1.5 mil price tag. haven't watched the op links to know if they're any good, but they'll likely give you some understanding.

Actually I understand very well.

I'll agree the Veyron will beat any current ROAD car on a track, just due to its acceleration. Any possible time lost on the corners will easily be made up in the straights.

And yes, I agree that it's an amazing piece of engineering. I personally don't like the way it looks however, but that's a subjective thing. Given a choice I'd much rather have a Pagani Zonda F or something.

We must have different tastes because the Pagani Zonda F for me anyways is the definition of ugly

That second vid is against a Yamaha R1 bike, not an F1 car.

Fwiw if i wanted a supercar id rather have an Ultima GTR, but thats just me.

But ultimately for the money id rather buy a house, or multiple supercars - like a garage full of exotic tuned metal.

It's so ugly.... I would never buy it, the wight is also riducolous, the Koenigsegg CCX is so much sweeter.



It does 0-100 km/h in 3.2s
Top speed of 395 km/h +
Quartermile in 9.9s
Dry weight of 1180kg (2601 lbs)

and all that from an V8 engine, so almost the same performance on the straight as the Bugatti, and it is much lighter, I think that this car is actually faster arround most tracks than the Bugatti, and that for only half the price.

the site, u can also get some different colors and stuff.

Looks like it's full of scratches and paint bloches down the side.

I'd get a refund.

I dont think OP has acutally bought the car as only 500 were ever made and they were sold out before going into production. So unless he managed to get onto a very selective waiting list or somehow got it second hand, i dont think he has bought it.
