    So sad. I know others don't like the styling of it, but I think it's one of the sexiest cars out there right now. I could also be blinded by the sheer engineering marvel of the whole thing.

    Not the Ariel Atom which is way cool, but the Barabus TKR which looks like an older GTP car. It has yet to made other than the prototype. Claimed 0-60 in 1.7 seconds and a top speed of 270mph. If I have to choose between the two, I'll take the Bugatti, if I must.

    Thumbs up

    ::sigh::

    Tough choice.

    If I HAD to choose, I'd take the Bugatti also. If they were giving them away.

    That car is pure science fiction.

    1001 (conservative) bhp, 16cyl., quad turbo....screw the grill!! What's not to love? Personally, I'm not a fan of the quilted leather "Zonda" interior either, but I'm not about to turn my nose up at a Pagani 'cause of the seats

    I can't disagree with the major complaints here, but the car is really a retro-rod based off of the mid 1920's type 35 Bugatti. The main cgaracteristics to carry over are - The grill, the wheels, and the brushed steel interior. Besides if we are inside, who cares what the grill looks like.
