Yeah that kinda takes the V8 RWD Focus idea to a new level huh. I bet its acceleration is severely traction limited, I wonder how much quicker it coulda been with AWD.

It'd probably whoop on the Veryon from a roll to about 160+ given the weight advantage that has over the Bugatti.

as much as that would be cool the car is prob traction limited due to its RWD.

It says 0-60 in 3.7sec. a veyron is in the 2's.

Its RWD but Mid engine which would help alot. the Veryon's AWD and 1000 hp would kill it out of the hole but I bet on a roll where traction is irrelevant that thing I bet would hold its own.

True, but what's important is hp/lb. Weight is a major factor. I'd like to see the two cars go heads up on both a drag strip and a road course.

Guess they found something to do with all those Pheoton engines

Gotta give them credit, stuff the largest engine in the smaller car.
