The power-to-weight ratio is similar to the Bugatti, maybe even a little better. The S7 is also race proven. The Bugatti is too ugly, too heavy, and too late. ---

the bugatti wont even be able to reach its top speed, seeing that under full throttle it acheives gallons per mile instead of miles per gallons. i believe some guy tried doing this but he had to get a “mid - flight” refuel from 2 other cars in order to come close. i think thats pretty silly silly ---

Am I the only one who thinks it’s ugly? Amazing specs yes, and I guess that’s all it was built to be, but that nose gives it a face not even a mother could love. ---

> [@neurokinetik](#): > > The power-to-weight ratio is similar to the Bugatti, maybe even a little better. The S7 is also race proven. not to mention less than half the price and far and away sexier. plus, you could actually work on the S7’s mill, whereas I would need to rent stephen hawkings to check the oil on the bugatti. ---

The nice thing is that some of the technology/parts are going to trickle down. Bugatti is going to have to introduce a much more affordable car to make some money. This car was designed to be a technical showcase. You can see from the interior and exterior that the car isn’t an all out race car. The Bugatti also has a higher top speed than the S7 🙂 Even with all of its extra weight. ---
