Everythingape Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 And it's american! It's not approved by guiness just yet, but it probably will be. SSC Ultimate Aero runs new record I think it's a god damn good looking supercar! ..some more unobtainable supercar eyecandy: Top Ten Supercars of 2006
Admin Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 hmm..looks good...when do you think the replica will hit the market
Dani Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 Dont like that car cant put a finger on it but its just not my cup of tea This is more me.
dluddy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 Not much ground clearnace there. Wonder how that would do with the potholes in Boston I like the design....
Everythingape Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Posted September 15, 2007 hmm..looks good...when do you think the replica will hit the market Well.. Judging by the chinese 'replica' of the BMW X5, I'd say pretty damned soon.. Only very much unsafe, and with a 2,4l diesel rated at 109hp. There are some horrific crash test clips of the Landwind, Brilliance and other chinese cars on youtube. BTW: I am sure the chinese will bring their cars closer to NCAP top standards as time goes by. Shuanghuan SCEO: Kinda brings the X5 to mind, no? ..And like this article says: A little of the Toyota Landcruiser up front. SCEO article with pics
rocket754 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 I am feeling it. It has euro style with some american horsepower. That means that it will look great while being broken down on the side of the road
ryyannon Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 It's just slightly faster than the Bugatti Veyron. I like the Veyron....
Dizzy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 Not sure if i like it.. it looks like a blend of a bunch of parts from other supercars bolted together. Cars like the Veyron, Aston Martin and Lambos look sexy and unique.. this looks like a corvette/McLaren front, looks like a lambo from the side and has the doors off a GT40. But i guess thats what Shelby does.. they take regular cars, chop them up and make them faster. Lonnie
Guest TTK Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 It's not just about speed.....if you've seen a Veyron in the flesh...you know it's something special.....a tactile overload sensation....combined with great visual design......this car looks like it's purpose....designed to go fast....nothing more.....I can't see it ever holding a candle to a Veyron...!
Kollektor Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 Agree with Dani and TTK. Doesn't do it for me. Like the Acura NSX, just doesn't have the exotic swoops. The Veyron and new Lambs have all the right curves. Those new front engine 599 GTB Ferraris are pure class and a lot more subtle. I'll take silver, thank you.
krustybrand Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Have you seen the new Brabus version of the Mercedes C-class yet? Not the most attractive car but holy crap! http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/09/brabu...mercedes-c.html
jraines87 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 The aero is sweet. Did anyone notice that it actually gets pretty good highway mileage for a supercar? The meticulously manufactured carbon fibre composite body harnesses a motor that has a wonderful idle, incredible daily drivability characteristics, runs on 91 octane pump fuel, easily handles the rigors of long term redline usage while delivering and incredible 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway.
cornerstone Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 One advantage of the Veyron is that it can go around corners too! Did anyone notice that it actually gets pretty good highway mileage for a supercar? :lol:
plaifender Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 It's interesting.. but i'm with ryannon on this one: BUGATTI VEYRON! It's got all the right curves and uniqueness to set it apart from the blue shelby beast. see the veyron at work: part 1 Part 2
eunomians Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 I don't know. It looks like a car in one of those video games.
Torques Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 It's interesting.. but i'm with ryannon on this one: BUGATTI VEYRON! It's got all the right curves and uniqueness to set it apart from the blue shelby beast. see the veyron at work: part 1 Part 2 What brand of motor is it? I know it is a 6.2 litre, twin turbo but cannot find out anything more about the engine from the web.

Everythingape Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Posted September 17, 2007 What brand of motor is it? I know it is a 6.2 litre, twin turbo but cannot find out anything more about the engine from the web. It's a GM! ..a modified aluminium V8 lifted from a Corvette C5R. 1183 bhp @ 6950 rpm.
hambone Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 That car looks like it is going 200MPH while standing still. Truly a gorgeous automobile.
z80 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Ehh.. I don't like it much. I'd rather have an Audi RS8.
plaifender Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Ehh.. I don't like it much. I'd rather have an Audi RS8. which car? the veyron is definitely a much finer ride.. and a much greater design.....
