Well they have outdone themselves again!
A totally useless piece of garage art.
I'm sure some wall street banker of a big financial firm that that illegally traded these MERS allowed mortgages at lightning speed while largely bypassing local property laws throughout the country that required new forms and filing fees each time a loan changed hands, will love this piece of art.

Well its got better styling than the original but I’m not in love with it. The front kind of reminds me of the Maserati MC12, but pales in comparison to the beauty that car exudes.
My biggest complaint with American automotive engineer is that their answer is always throw a bigger engine into it. so the new car will have ~1350 bhp but how much of it will it be able to put down on the asphalt? As the article stipulates you are still getting wheel spin in 4th gear. . .
That’s aside yeah its ostentatious and there is a lot of shit going on but its still an engineering milestone even if not practical.

The whole point of this car is to try and regain the production car land speed record which was taken out by the Bugatti Veyron, then taken back by Shelby, then taken again by the Veyron.
The current record is 267Mph held: http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/veyron-ss-record-2010-07-06
In the SSC I can see Ferrari FXX, Mclaren F1, the Maserati. Its nice but I'd still leave collectables for someone else if I had that kind of money. Now the Veryon... for some reason I'd buy that but I'd probably go for one of these
