I don't give a damn what any critic says, the Bugatti Veyron is absolutely amazing; inside and out. I mean, look at those times! You basically have an airplane on wheels! Seriously! Those times are incredible! You can reach a top speed of 248mph in ten seconds short of ONE MINUTE! That's retarded! Just insane.

I know of a car with 1/8 the cam shafts, 1/2 the turbos, with less displacement that produces more power, more torque, has an even higher top speed, superior mid range acceleration, and consumes less fuel. And costs half as much.
As I said, needless complication.

Oh, let's just put it on the table now,....your talking about the SSC Ultimate Aero! Sorry, the Bugatti has taken it's crown back as the fastest car in the world. And not only that, it achieves it's top speed of
268mph in less distance than it takes the SSC Ultimate Aero to even reach it's top speed "256mph". Sure theoretically, the Aero can go faster,given enough space, but the Aero runs out of track before it can even pull past it's 256mph record, while the Bugatti on the other hand can take the world record back with a higher top speed with the same space it's always used during it's preproduction testing, right at they're facility. Not to mention many top-speed test failed for the Aero because during the test drivers of the Aero reported bad "wheel-spin" at 190mph+. The Buggati doesn't suffer from those problems, because it has AWD,traction control, and stability control. The Bugatti has even managed an amazing feat in snow, it managed to pull a truck out of a snowy ditch on Bugatti's snow course. With all that wheel-spin in the Aero and no traction control you can't even dream of doing that. You can practically travel at high speeds in rain and around corners in the Bugatti and still not lose any traction and remain absolutely stable. If you ever watch some of the Bugatti top speed runs, at 240+mph, inside of the car is absolutely quiet! It doesn't even sound like the engine is on! That in itself is ASTOUNDING. The Aero on the our hand,......no.
Jay Leno let the car loose on a highway and from the inside of the car it sounds like your in a boiler room! lol. Not my cup of tee mate. If I had a choice and the money, the Bugatti would be the first car I'd buy hands down. The Aero is an amazing car of epic proportions itself, but it's interior and
the noise it puts out in between shifts is not worth it's price-tag.
