Does anyone else think this is a bunch of BS? No way can John Hennessey build a car that can outdo the Veyron. It'll never happen. Quote me on that.

In a straight line, it's not that hard. However, to have everything else that the Veyron has (luxury, handling, etc.) is probably extremely difficult.

Even in a straight line, there is no way this will hit the claimed 272 MPH. I could see 230-240 MPH tops. It's just not aerodynamic enough to be stable at those speeds.

I'm also assuming that this will be RWD in which case, I seriously doubt their 0-60 claim as well.

0-200-0 MPH in 20 seconds doesn't seem too unreasonable, however.
