Bugatti Veryon has more torque.

It also weighs 1,522lbs more.

The only thing I don't like is that the 821 lb./ft. of torque is at 6200 rpm.

It looks like any other supercar design. The veyron is so much more distinct in its design.

Aluminium Block, so it won't be a SBC right?
and 387.2 cu in = 5.56 L ?

Could be? Found this for the 'regular' Aero (not the Ultimate) -
SSC state that the engine is an all aluminum custom-modified V8 with variable boost forced induction.The lump is accually sourced from a Corvette C5R. Producing nearly 800 bhp, it is no surprise then that the first prototype pulled in a 3.1 second zero-to-sixty time at the Firebird raceway last March.

lol 104 octane? WTF are you going to find that, maybe at a racetrack, but not at any gas station on the highway.

Also, the Bugatti is performance and luxury oriented. This Aero thing is probably a Elise version of the Veryon, carbon fiber everywhere and little to no luxury compared to the veryon.

This is also wind tunnel tested, not anything else. First they need to design a tranny that can handle 273mph and handle 1000hp/821lb ft (probably same Recardo tranny in the Veryon, just tweaked for more speed/less weight). And good luck finding tires that can handle anything over 253 (Veryon max speed). Just because the car has the power to reach xxx speeds, doesnt meen it can. Hells even F1 dont reach anything over 230mph.

By my calculations, they is something wrong with the Ultimate Aero, it should read 375.1044 ci, not 387.2

ohh.. I just ballparked the 5.5 lilters. I am not good at cci-to-Liter conversion; but I know Mustang's 4.6L is 302cci. so 387.2 is roughly twenty percent more than 302, so I just guess 5.5L.

The Mustang's 5L V8 (actually 4.9) is 302..
