Honestly who cares about straightline speed when it is not usable? This looks set to be another of those stupid american 'supercars'. fast in a straightline, rubbish in the corners, and looks awful. go back to making muscle cars, we still love you for making them. true that

Don’t really see the point of this SSC. A road legal street car that can run past 400kmh is an engineering marvel. The point is, "it can be done". shimiwako said,

Bugatti spent insane amounts of cash in developing the veyron. This looks like it came out of some used car sales place. One thing's for sure, its going to be hell trying to stop it. It doesnt even have a rear spoiler to generate down force for stopping.. and it wouldnt perform well in a track either i guess.

You could do a 500kmph but if it takes forever to reach, than it is still not considered as the fastest. Its a matter of how fast could you achieve BV's top speed of 405kmph!

What a monster, it'll need special tyres to put all that power to the ground. I believe it can and will exceed the Veyron's speed, just look at it; it's so sleek and flat, plus it's got more power too! 1302Nm of torque!

With this insane beast, it could rip any standard tyres apart! Would be very interesting to see its 439 to 0 km/h braking time as well. Hope it won't replicate another hamster incident.
