yeah.. arent they like a buck- two fifty??

 

Damn that's ugly.

 

... how is that ugly

i like the style

 

I think its ugly too.... although its fast....

 

I was thinking the same.. he reached 60 in a ridiculous time!

 

That is kph.

These are mph stats:

A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds

210kph is only 131mph... and ill take the McLaren over that ugly thing ANY DAY!

 

It's also a 4300lb pig.

 

I think the styling was dictated by aerodynamics and cooling. I like it.

As for handling, I'm not too sure if anyone has really critiqued that area. Most mags just focus on the acceleration and top speed of it. I wish Top Gear had the Stig take it out on their track.

I also don't think that anyone will ever build a car that can match the Veyron. It's just too expensive to develop and produce. VW are taking a hit for each one they make.

 

Actually, I watched an interview and the guy that was overseeing the project said that the styling interfered with cooling and air flow so they added a top speed system that you engage with a key that lowers the car, opens extra cooling vents and changes the aerodynamics.

 

oh crap, 7mpg? thats great, i'll take one...not.
