the veyron is an engineers wet dream ..... everything from body to engine to interior wasnt just, "that'll do" it was designed tested and made better
if its gonna be a beauty contest... veyron still wins

hey nice car, i like the Veyron much better.
This car looks like every other super sports car, wheres the imagination? like the Veyron? the Veyron almost looks like its from outa space (yes i,m exagerating), I can,t help it, but i,m nuts over Veyron. i,m with S3SR on everything he said, but wait theres more. What about the prestige of the name Bugatti, you are comparing apples with oranges my friend, not in the some class. But, it is faster, and thats oarsome! regards mick |

This thing looks like a missile in black. As said been around for ages with multiple claims of 255mph+, just nothing seems to have been done to make it all official. I remember Clarkson dismissing it early on.
Only 1yr warranty across the car.

I will say though this car is much better on the eyes than the Veyron, which had a look that is still seeming to be unfinished. Sure the Veyron is dam fast and had a price tag to match and engineering thats inexplicably out of this world but hay Id sooner have this car if I could afford either.

the veyron is too much of a mish-mash.. its like theyve put a bentley and a lamborghini into a blender and voila - veyron.
i like the SSC much better.

Veyron isnt just a car. Its an engineering masterpiece.
take a look in the specs section in particular http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron basically the veyron makes alot of pretenders look like kit cars in comparison. The 7 speed DSG gearbox alone is amazing. Most car companies struggle to make a dsg with 6 gears that will handle 350hp let alone 1000+ and then 4wd on top .....its so much more than the record. VEYRON FTW |

Not so much on topic but remotely relevent. The other car that does it for me is this (in GTR Spec) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1 still an engineering masterpiece to this day and its price reflects that. |

The question is, which one makes the most of its configuration? One is a W16 engine and the other is a V8 engine, both being turbo charged, I always like the underdog, the Veyron is an 8litre displacement, whats the aeros displacement?

Veyron - The car you but for the prestige of the record for first car to do 400k/h
- The car for quiet, luxury, auto, power steering - The car that has a pant wetting combination of beauty & aggression. SCC UA - The car that is the 2nd fastest production car ITW, (another broke it on the salt flats last month to take the official fastest production car title) - The car for the DRIVER, no power steering, manual box, ABS, TSC, nothing its just you, 4 wheels, engine & drivetrain keeping it on the road or track. - The car you buy if you want people to hear you coming before they see you! (Its seriously, SERIOUSLY, LOUD!!!)

There a production aftermarket ford gt supercar with twin turbos that does 240+mph in a standing mile. I would have 3 of those before I'd even look at a veyron or a ssc.

The S7 is 5 miles long and 2 lanes wide like a jag xj220. The ssc however is based on a lotus exige.
