    well they beat the veyron AND the CCX last time, dont know why it wouldnt this time.

    When you think of cars with enough power to push themselves through the air at 250+ MPH machines like the Bugatti Veyron(253.4 MPH) and the SSC Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo(255.83 MPH). But honestly the performance of these Ultra exotic super cars is laughable when seen next to the new Mosler MT900 GTR XX Twin Turbo Land Shark by Intense Automotive Design. Why you ask? Because the latest iteration of Johnny Mosler’s mid-engine super car is limited to 305 MPH

    I like the look of this Shelby a hell of a lot more than I like the look of the Veyron.

    ccx looks a million times better than the shelby and billion times better than the veyron.

    Also I hope the yanks fail, pretty much like most things they attempt to do

    problem is i know they beat it last time and when it comes down to being number 1 they dont put a price on it... that and their specialty is getting ridiculous amounts of power and this is one of the rare cases where they havent overdone it lol

    I'm suprised it's only a 7ltr twin turbo v8...I thought they had to out do everyone. I was expecting a WV 24 11ty billion ltr with 6 turbos and 2 superchargers.
    Just saying.

    yet the whole country is in debt.. go figure (about the unlimited price)

    i still dont see how they can call it a production car. i mean how many will they actually make?
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    Surely an American didn't design that..
    It actually looks good.

    I reject your reality and substitute my own.

    What about the interior of the Veyron. Looks like it was designed by an old guy who was feeling nostalgic for the 1960's.

    The thing with veyron it goes beyond just being fast. It's a car built to last. It made to be driven everyday and last for over 200,000klms. It's an engineering masterpeice in more ways than just being the fastest car in the world (at the time). I really like to see any of these american cars last as long as a veyronor do as many klms

    Very impressive. But like Dr Hax said its body shape is just an enzo. That being said
    I'd rather a caterham R500, corners are way more fun than straight lines
