Great job by the design team. Based on the reactions of the people around it, most people seemed to love it, I heard one or two moans about the rear. Even the old fogies seemed to like it!
More and more people will be swayed once they see the C7 in person.

The Veyron sucks, and is ugly...for that money I could buy an airplane that will out run it, and carry 4 people to another city on one tank of gas. That C7 makes it look stupid. 1.2M for junk.

I don't think its junk but it is the ugliest supercar I've ever seen.

For over 2 million a car SHOULD CARE what I think. Is it really that hard for you to be civil?

That's the Vitesse press car. It looks outstanding. I'd take it.

Wow have to admit that "base" C7 looks like it could be on the market with the Veyron


Better start saving XD

Very true. As obscene as some of the money was that was thrown around, guys like Hendrick and Pratt are very generous with their money, without question

There is a little car company in Sweden called Koenigsegg. They make a car called the Agera R. This company has had the fastest production car title a couple times. Their car shoots for 270+mph. Oh, and about this thread. Great pictures of the C7. It looks very exotic indeed even next to a hyper car.

Shoots for.


Hasn't done it, yet. Unless I've missed recent news. A dozen cars have laid claim to theoretical speeds surpassing the Veyron's that are somehow mathematically proven, yet fail to materialize in practice.

No doubt is one impressive, audacious machine. I'm just not fond of it's styling. If I want a hyper car, there are several others I would get before getting a Veyron. They all perform incredibly well, even if the Veyron remains outright speed champ.

The Veyron is like the A10 wart hog jets, ugly as they come, but they sure get their job done.

I'm right there with you although a 458 Italia or 430 would be in there for a test drive.
