James GriffinOct 28, 2011 Presumably lil ol Patty boy will be forking out for one of these then?! Don't think the lads from Down Under will be the only ones missing out. So, mate, it probably sucks to be you too!
Zain SheikhOct 20, 2011 Too much wheelspin. It's proven fact that AWD gives the GTR is the perfect example
Phillip GreeneOct 20, 2011 Its quicker than the veyron= suck it haters... Bad launch my ass
Zain SheikhOct 20, 2011 1200 HP + RWD + no Traction control = disaster and bad launch
Miguel LongoriaOct 19, 2011 @Patrick: I just burst into laughter with the 'mate' comment! LMAO
Matthew LeonOct 19, 2011 SSC sucks at lauch that's the only problem
Norman AgustinOct 19, 2011 I wonder if this car has tires that can withstand 250+ mph like the Veyron has. Bugatti spent a lot of time with manufacturer of the tire to withstand that amount of speed.
Buzzle Guzzle DooOct 19, 2011 Guys, you may be going on and on and on about Veyrons, SSC's and Koenigseggs but we can all admit that the Mclaren f1 is the best by a long way
Kaden DauterOct 19, 2011 HA the Agera R gets to 200mph in 14 seconds, And it looks nicer
Matt MoellerOct 19, 2011 There is only one true Shelby, change your company's name. Why not try Saleen ;-)
Patrick SchalkOct 19, 2011 Well then that makes you even more jealous. Sucks for you. Mate.
Hamish JohnsonOct 19, 2011 Im not jelous. I cant have one anyway they dont alow them in australia
Bernard GreenOct 18, 2011 Mmm I take the koenigsegg. Veyron is ugly. Nice piece of machinery though
Duncan GibsonOct 18, 2011 Veyrons are much classier and comfy. I'd take one, after all, if ur getting a bugatti u prolly already have severL nice homes
Jordan SmithOct 18, 2011 I'd take this over the Veyron, and with the leftover money( if I had any) I would buy a house or two and some other cars. All for the price of one Veyron.
Pablo HerasmeOct 18, 2011 Too bad I'll still take A Veyron over an SCC
David JusticeOct 18, 2011 I think with the Veyron you get luxury, speed, and power. This car, I would assume, only offers speed and power. Plus, I'd trust the money and resources available to Bugatti (from VW) to build a higher quality car.
Justin SingletonOct 18, 2011 @Andy
I would like to know all these cars your talking about that are faster than the SS....
Andy RogersOct 18, 2011 Ok. But a lot of cars already accelerate faster than a Veyron SS. Top speed is what we're looking for
Chris BjorgolfssonOct 18, 2011 That thing looks way better than that of veyron The Veyron looks fat, this thing looks Way more agile
Alex KlemsteinOct 18, 2011 @Hamish Its American and it will, if everything goes to plan, be the faster than the Bugatti SS.
Hamish JohnsonOct 18, 2011 For one the ultimate areo is ugly as f$&@ and its american. Soooo yeah.
Cooper BranhamOct 18, 2011 @Jameson it's Shelby super cars. Not shelby... Two totally different brands
Jameson WestonOct 18, 2011 It's Shelby though, their cars are boring. Koenigsegg deserves it.
Ryan StringerOct 18, 2011 @Kevin: They have carbon fiber bowling balls between their legs nowadays.
Kolton BullardOct 18, 2011 @Junoman. It was stated to be $900,000 to $1,000,000

Will ConoverOct 28, 2011 @Ervis because it's the tuatara's guts inside an aero's body
@Zain the tgtt is a fast track. Around a real track the ssc would win
Zain SheikhOct 20, 2011 @Phillip if the veyron can't turn in corner than tell me why is the super sport faster round the top gear test track than a gumpert Apollo and a Ascari A10 which are cars that weigh just 2500 Lbs . Owned veyron hater
Ervis AtOct 20, 2011 Great car I like it but it's not the future fastest car no way
You know why
Cuz it looks too much like the old ssc
It's not the future it will never be better then bugatti
It's an awsone car tho but not better the the big B-V
Ervis AtOct 20, 2011 Jason this car looks good but do you still know what the reality for bugatti is?
Like not what you in your head think but the actuall reality is, get it, reality a car that's liked by people who can buy both cars.
Phillip GreeneOct 20, 2011 Yea its also slow in the corners and heavy as hell... Vw slent all that time and money to make it hit a top speed record as a selling point its not a preformer.. thete is plenty of quicker cars and they will be better at everything who cares if there top.... Five miles of strait that you will never encounter ever unless you work for vw in the bugati development center... Speed is 5mph slower cuz t...
Zain SheikhOct 20, 2011 @Shane the Veyron is only quiet at idle speeds of 30 MPH
Jason BrowerOct 19, 2011 @otnay the bugatti is disgusting in person. It sounds terrible and looks awkward. The ssc looks far better.
KeX LimOct 19, 2011 @Buzzle. That's what makes the Veyron amazing. It has hypercar performance without needing to sacrifice luxury. Just imagine how much faster it can go if you strip it out and create a track version.
Buzzle Guzzle DooOct 19, 2011 Supercars arent meant to be luxurious, most of it is taken away for the sake of performance. Including most things that are luxury. Anyways who would want a satnav, radio, or cd player in this, just listen to the engine thats enough to entertain me.
Otnay NatOct 19, 2011 He meant this car has no luxury side compare to the veyron .
This car is ugly IMO ....seen the veyron in person ... Those thing is a piece of art but this one ...
Shane CarrollOct 19, 2011 @Ryu why the hell would you want a quiet 1000hp car?
Ryu TsuchiyaOct 19, 2011 It has no luxury like the Veyron or is as "quite" and smooth like a Veyron...a Veyron is masterpiece and not just a fast monster
Ben WatsonOct 19, 2011 Going to change pants now.....
Landon CombassOct 18, 2011 If the dumbass quit trying to be cool and roll up the window and it would go faster an reduce drag.
Patrick SchalkOct 18, 2011 Well I guess I'm gonna be blowing past everyone in their Veyrons.
Kevin RehbockOct 18, 2011 That's an Aero body with Tuatara guts, dude. The Tuatara looks a lot better than this. At least I hope it will in the production stage.
Keenan CasteelOct 18, 2011 This car just looks a bit...retarded. I'd take the Veyron over this and the tuatara... I don't care how fast it is.
Zach SullivanOct 18, 2011 That's a high quality testing area they have lol
Shane CarrollOct 18, 2011 @Andy and even if they did, their "claims" were so ridiculous no car could measure up. We're not gonna see it again
Andy RogersOct 18, 2011 @Edith
Even though nobody has said anything about since it's "announcement" a year or so ago. AKA, it's not going to happen
Dave DurkeeOct 18, 2011 Haha yeah I want America to have the title but I also really love mclaren...
Reinaldo Puchu PiñateOct 18, 2011 I wouldn't call .7 secs "blowing the rest out of the water" unless it was 0-60 but oh well. To each their own
Sam OglesbyOct 18, 2011 meaningless u just wait till mclaren get there act together with the f1 replacement
Patrick SchalkOct 18, 2011 I can hear the waste gate on the turbos? Any vid of this is a good vid
Brandon LidyOct 18, 2011 Right ? What is te point of a video with an amazing car, and no sound

Tyler CookOct 25, 2011 I don't care about what any of you guys say. Just. Wait 20 years. From now people will remember the bugatti. The ssc will get lost amongst all the other cars in their quest to make the fastest car. Their is nothing that stands out about this car other than it's speed. It's rather plane and not ridiculous in any way. The bugatti is on the other hand 1.6 million, has a W 16 quad turbo, and 1001 hp a...
Miguel BlancoOct 21, 2011 Te Bugatti Veyron will be beaten. A top speed record will never be held forever. Maybe SSC won't take it but someone will
Zain SheikhOct 20, 2011 @Collin guess what tata owns jaguar and land rover but does that mean tata and jaguar are bad. And VW also owns Porsche , bentley, Audi . Does that mean those brands are crap. Stop trying to act smart , you're being even stupider
Nick GrubeckiOct 20, 2011 Horrible Video but i want to see more of the car
Ervis AtOct 20, 2011 No car can f--k with Bugatti
The luxury the Bugatti offers can't bee compared with non of these cars
Bugatti set the standard n made history
Although this car is awesome n fast it don't look like a car that you can cruse with like the bugatti
Colin BarrOct 20, 2011 One more thing for you noobs: Volkswagen owns Bugatti
Colin BarrOct 20, 2011 Btw guys, there's only one place in the world you can top out a hyper car, and its owned by Volkswagen. Most car companies are allowed there, but not koenigsegg. So don't say koenigsegg and henesseey can't walk the walk before you research
Colin BarrOct 20, 2011 Did amyone read the articles title? Bugatti Vayron SS AND Koenigsegg Agera R! The agera r is such a low profile car. Just a few weeks ago it took out a bunch of the vayrons records. That car can hit 275, and it doesn't get the Recognition it deserves
Patrick SchalkOct 20, 2011 Because it is slow moving. Find the video online or on here about them talking about it. It makes sense.
Patrick SchalkOct 20, 2011 I don't give two rat farts what the car is called. It's fast, looks awesome, sounds awesome, I bet it's a blast to drive, and will take a dump on a Veyron. That's good enough for me'. And the point of them naming the car after the reptile was not
Matthew LeonOct 19, 2011 Iets see SSC sucks at lauch
Of course and is American made
KeX LimOct 19, 2011 @Patrick. My point is that it's a dumb idea to name a hypercar after a slow-moving reptile. I thought my point was obvious, but I guess not everyone is quick on the uptake.
Ivan RudnitskyOct 19, 2011 If it beat the top speed record they would have already announced it and rubbed it in Bugattis face. Fast acceleration does not always equal high speeds
Patrick SchalkOct 19, 2011 Well the CAR, is NOT a slow moving reptile. It's quite possibly the fastest road production car on the planet.
KeX LimOct 19, 2011 Agreed that it's a dumb name. SSC said they chose the name because it's the fastest evolving animal on the planet. Guess they forgot to find out it's also a very slow-moving reptile.
Duncan GibsonOct 18, 2011 I would like to point out that the tuatara is a species of reptile that resembles a fat, lethargic lizard.
Jason BrowerOct 18, 2011 @ Andy: ssc walks the walk too. Don't forget that the reason the veyron ss was made was because it lost the title of world's fastest car to the ultimate aero tr
KeX LimOct 18, 2011 Personally, I'd rather have the Veyron. As a complete package (including ride comfort, luxuries and everyday usability), it's just so far ahead of the competition.
Andy RogersOct 18, 2011 So they can walk the walk like everybody else (Hennessey and Koenigsegg claim that speed too) but none have talked the talk yet
Shane CarrollOct 18, 2011 @Anthony thats got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's half the cylinders and yet MORE powerful and Buggati invested all that money into getting the title back from that "pathetic" car.
Patrick SchalkOct 18, 2011 Hahahah ohhh the interior the interior. That's what people mostly focus on when driving/buying/racing a supercar.
Carlos Gallego RodriguezOct 18, 2011 And what abaut the interior? And what abaut the 0 to 60!?? and i'm sure that on the TG track would be faster ( the veyron )
Payne Hodges WilsonOct 18, 2011 Wow just because the power to weight ratio is higher on the ssc than the Veyron that makes it pathetic? Thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard seriously think about that comment
Scott GraceyOct 18, 2011 I agree, I'd rather have an agera r
Shane CarrollOct 18, 2011 @Tyler actually, when the owner of SSC first designed his car he was gunning for the F1. And they beat the Veyron with a car basically built in a garage by a couple guys who did it for less than Bugatti spent on printer ink
Patrick SchalkOct 18, 2011 What the hell are you guys talking about? This looks a MILLION times better than that old man scrotum lookin Veyron. Also, SSC should be respected even more because they are doing this with a car that has HALF the cylinders AND turbos. F the Veyron.
Yves CorbeauOct 18, 2011 Well, they lose on looks to the Veyron. It has an ugly twist on the side.
Luke BaileyOct 18, 2011 no, the goal is to have the fastest car.....they're just after Bugatti cuz its at the top right now....
Carlos Gallego RodriguezOct 18, 2011 The bugatti veyron it's a lot lot better.... In 20 years the bugatti will be remembered as a super clasic car with a W16 and 4 turbos. The ssc it's just another V8 with a couple of turbos. The bugatti it's going to be the next 250 GTO
Tyler CookOct 18, 2011 Bugatti created the fastest street legal car just to do it. I have little respect for ssc because it seems the central goal was just to beat the veyron.
Thibault LeroyOct 18, 2011 bugatti better make an mss veyron (mega super sport)
Ken MadisonOct 18, 2011 You can calculate top speed. There is a formula involving gears, power, and resistance or something. Very complex.
Brady FeredayOct 18, 2011 That 7 speed manual would be sick to have just it would take some serious skill to handle all that power and shift fast hitting that 200mph mark would be a blast to try ^_^
Anthony CordialeOct 18, 2011 You wonder if they are holding back just 275 mph lol
Kevin RehbockOct 18, 2011 Why claim a top speed when you haven't tested it at that speed yet? It annoys me, but I have faith in SSC after watching the video
Josh SammonsOct 18, 2011 Veyron oh yeh that slow car lol
Kevin MartinOct 23, 2011 it looks almost identicle to the ultimate aero
Jake MorrisOct 23, 2011 To all of you Bugatti lovers out there: They had already planned to stop production of the Veyron in 2012, but make a new car called the 16 c Galiber; it looks just like the , but bigger, front engine, and 4 doors. I actually really like it a lot!
Miguel BlancoOct 21, 2011 Never mind what I just said. I'm so stupid.
Miguel BlancoOct 21, 2011 Edith and Aaron, McLaren made a new car called the MP4-12C. It wasn't made to be a Veyron beater.
Ervis AtOct 20, 2011 Jason ur so smart
I knew you had everything to do with the Bugatti when it was design lol
Come on Jason you dream then there is reality do you what the reality of the bugatti is?
Patrick SchalkOct 20, 2011 No it won't. They aren't gonna make them anymore.
Matthew LeonOct 19, 2011 Veyron will come back and kick SSCS ASS
Connor Smyth-HammondOct 18, 2011 SSC requires this guy to keep his head shaved...hair is too heavy and less aerodynamic
Jason BrowerOct 18, 2011 @Andy the veyron could never be "hardcore" it was designed to be easily driven by anyone, the chassis is entirely wrong for a hardcore car, the engine is too large, it's far too heavy
Landon CombassOct 18, 2011 If someone know nothing about cars and looked at a veyron they would never be able to tell it's one of the fastest cars in the world.
Mike HawkOct 18, 2011 Well don't leave out the Viper, either. It's still in the works.
Andy RogersOct 18, 2011 Why are they killing the Veyron? :( (rhetorical question)
I hope they can bring it back some day and make it absolutely hardcore and up the power even more. They still haven't pushed it to the limit
Aaron ManalilOct 18, 2011 Buggatis not makin another super car they only have the gs the ss and the soon to come gs ss .just wait till mclaren comes out with f1 bye bye ssc and veyron
Edith WhartonOct 18, 2011 Okay the back is definitely like the bugatti and the front is mclaren f1
Carter SullivanOct 18, 2011 ...and it doesn't matter because it's not the Tuatara. Did you read the beginning?
Patrick SchalkOct 18, 2011 This looks nothin like a Veyron.
Axel CousinsOct 18, 2011 Let me guess Bugatti is going to need to make a car that is faster than this so they still could hold the record of the fastest car. It looks a like a Bugatti but just sleeker. A lot sleeker which I like a lot.
Anthony CordialeOct 18, 2011 Must be me side view reminds me of a veyron just sleeker
Presumably lil ol Patty boy will be forking out for one of these then?! Don't think the lads from Down Under will be the only ones missing out. So, mate, it probably sucks to be you too!
Too much wheelspin. It's proven fact that AWD gives the GTR is the perfect example
Its quicker than the veyron= suck it haters... Bad launch my ass

Jesus Christ!! That's so freakin fast!!
Those test drivers have bowling balls between their legs.
Sweet lord that is fast
