I prefer the black interior but you can get the UA TT's interior in black as well so I'd call that a wash. Or am I missing something? Like I said, I'm not really an interior guy.
Shelby Super Cars Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo. No relation to Carol Shelby. The V8 is based off the LS6 from the C5 Z06. Yup, for 2 and a half years, the worlds fastest car was powered by a Chevy Small Block 
I'm sure the picture that was posted wasn't of the retuned engine. And when you're talking about running the Veyron to its limit, remember that it was done on a gigantic circle test track with steep banking vs a stretch of closed down highway in the desert. The centrifigal force from running on a banked road gives the AWD car even more grip on the already grippy surface. A worn out highway in the desert isn't exactly ideal for this sort of thing. Maybe they'll run it again at Daytona after it gets repaved, it won't be as good as a circle but it should be an awful lot better than a few miles of highway. Maybe they can talk one of the big 3 into letting them use a great big test circle. But regardless, the UA TT still has more speed left in it, 272 mph I believe.
As for the 'uncivilized' aspects of the TT such as ...
to me, thats a sign of baddassness. If I want a quiet, comfortable, exclusive luxury car, I'll look at a Rolls Royce or something. But if I am looking to buy the worlds fastest car, I want to know I'm getting a machine. I don't want a jack of all trades, I want something that is purpose built for speed. By the same token, I'll take a Viper over an R8 any time. |
The entire Veyron interior is leather, except for of course the center console, which is some kind of metal, unlike the Aero TT.
If you think wheel spin at 200mph is "badass," well
You're also missing something; The Veyron is just like a two seater Rolls Royce, but it is also one of the best, if not the best, production performance car on the market. As of right now, it holds the highest top speed record, not to mention that it has those tires for 1.3g's, and it has awd for grip and handling to help it drive better on sunny days and snowy days.
The Veyron is a better car than the Aero TT in ALL aspects. In all aspects of performance, the Veyron is better. In all aspects of build quality, the Veyron is better. The Veyron is just a much better car. The Aero TT has the sole purpose of top speed, and is not concerned with anything else, and as of right now, it falls short in even that category. Therefore, Veyron>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Aero TT
