i would probably move from a Lambo to a Koenigsegg if I was given the opportunity. they are just too sick. Although the Reventon remains one of my favourite cars ever

only car I would own over a Veyron is the Koenigsegg hands down

although the veyron is still the pinnacle of automotive engineering- its motor could handle 1700 hp without having to build the bottom end

Veyrons and the Veryon S are obviously amazing cars, but I feel like theyre sort of just a novelty in a way. I would prefer to have lots of different cars over a Veyron, Veyrons are just known as the fastest (and maybe most expensive, IDK) cars out there. IMO there are definitely better looking cars as well.

Maybach makes a more expensive car. But then again, Maybach is like having a gulf stream jet put into a car.

You mean the SSC? it was faster than the bugatti, but then they made a veyron that could go faster.

The Agera-R runs on E85 & E100 fuel. It actually performs the best on it too! 1115hp and 1200tq vs 940hp and 1100tq on 95 octane. In the extras it lists that you can buy a set of skis. Wonder how much those go for.

I would take the ascari a10, built up from a e39 m5 v10 and just looks so clean. the koenigsegg is aerodynamically unstable and cant keep its tail end planted, ( as seen on top gear)

im not denying the zonda r is an amazing car. but you cant (legally) drive it on the road. or in any racing series.

or in the rain.

or in the snow.

or in a residential area.





and while i cant say from firsthand experience, since, you know, ive never fucking driven a bugatti veyron, everything ive ever read on one said it had no trouble tackling corners,

Pretty sure you can/could race a Zonda R in Le Mans. But Pagani dropped out of Lemans years back.
