This car looks MUCH better than the old one, thanks to that Saab dude.
Hopefully, it'll handle as well as the Veyron, rather than just be fast in a straight line... like all American cars...

This. The originaly weighs a Caterham 7 less than the Veyron, and made its top speed run on off the shelf Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s, with no problems. With decent aero and power I don't see them having any trouble meeting the target, aside from a venue. Speaking of bonneville, it would be pretty epic to run it there.
I imagine it will see as much use as most of it's compettitors...
It probably will, I don't see any reason to backslide.

lol top speed- are we caring about this still?

I think it's pretty stupid since it tends to undermine the aspects of performance that I value more, but other than our own Napolis, how many people actually drive their super cars? Is this really any worse than handling, braking, or laptimes when none of them ever get used?

Even those who chose to drive fast arent' going to reach the maximum speed of any of these vehicles.
There just isnt the clear roads to achieve it.
Perhaps in an arab state, but then you're fighting air temps and sand ingestion
So it really does become mine is bigger than yours.
For circuit, then it's acceleration and handling
Just these are harder to measure OBjectively.
PS: handling braking and laptimes are key to me and many others who compete !!
Just with the normal club track circuits a refinement of a 50 year old Colin Chapman design with a bike engine pretty much makes it

The frontal picture reminds of the Lola T70 Mk3B for some reason.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
The car will hit less top speed on Bonneville, just because of the traction issue, and they do it in a measured distance. Track like Ehra-Lessien lets a car to have faster head start over a longer, paved straight....
For land speed car its different since they need the extra space to stop.....

Record breaker or not, I'm sure the early adopters of this brand are annoyed that their cars looked like crap.
