Huge fan of the space-ship style exterior canopy/cockpit like the p4/5, also love the circle air intakes on the body! Any chance for different or BBS Monoblock racing style wheels ?

The dramatic change in comparison to the original; I especially like how the car is really not similar in design to any other production car. If i have to be specific I would say the "side profile" - if it may be considered a part - and the air outlets over the wheels that seem to fade away and are not extraneous from the design of the body.

I love the canopy-style of the roofline, it looks like a fighter jet. Also the smooth, swooping front that seems to cover the whole front of the car without interruption.

Question for SSC, how close to these specs do you guys think you will get that I read on autoblog?

"For starters, this new Ultimate Aero is powered by a 6.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that can scream up to a 9,000 rpm redline. Power? 1,350 horses, every last drop of which will be needed to hit the targeted top speed of 275 mph"
It will be right on the money or exceed those specifications. One reason we have endured and will flourish in the coming years is that we test behind closed doors before we make any public announcements. That way we can be very confident of our claims.

That is tough. I like so much of it. The side profile looks crazy, the front end is just beautiful, the headlights, the hood, and the side air inlet/exit.
The back was always a low point for me, but it has grown on my. And I am sure it is better in person.
The only difference I think would be cool is to make the rear stabilizers large, just like on an F-22 Raptor.

Junus and Jerod, what other supercars have you guys driven and how would you compare the handling and performance characteristics of the SSC (both old and new) to them...?

We will maintain a limited production car manufacturer. Although we are known for the world record we set in 2007 it is one element that we focus on. Since supercars are/supposed to be the top performers and since SSC is focused on performance we inherently are pushing the barrier for performance - speed, handling, etc...
