That Bugatti isn't even lose to the World's Fastest Car...

The honor actually falls to Andy green's 'Thrust SCC' that hit 763.035 mph in the flying mile at Black Rock Desert in Australia in 1997.

My apologies to YankeeTR, but that is one cool car. To bad they did not make them to US standards. (but then it would be like what happened to the US TR6 and no PI, under powered and heavier). Also a shame they are no longer in production.

Sure would like one, what a hoot driving to the Gray Bears socials and bingo night.

I don't doubt the performance of the car but it's got too many quirky styling cues for me. It would look better if it was a little simpler...I think it's one of those designs that, 20 years down the road, people will look at and say "WTF were they thinking?".

It will never be a "timeless classic"....

I remember when the TR4 replaced the TR3A. The TR3's were not considered classic then. The arguments against the TR4 by the purists was how could they call the four a roadster? It had ROLL UP WINDOWS! The four was a popular car for as long as it lasted, as was the TR6.

When I was young, The MG TC and TD where what we then considered a "timeless classic" and all would have loved to own one.

The TR2-6 cars are now classic in that they are 31-54 years old.

Thirty one years from now so will this TVR, the last to be built in England.

A point of correction, TVR will continue production of this and other TVR's, but in Europe. The new owner of the company is looking to produce the Sagaris for the American market.

So watch out, they are coming

A Veyron was recently totaled, someone at work sent me a link with a picture.

Wrecked Bug

There are one or two more pics if you look under new pics, exotics.

Check out this pic from the same site of a wrecked Elise. Is that the burned out hulk of a Jag E-type coupe in the background?

Yep, all fixer uppers....
