lol sorry to inform you, but you're the one in the minority. Almost everyone thinks the car looks good.
You're seriously telling me the UA and the Venom GT are better designs? C'mon man.

Yes clearly you can't read the thread in front of you. Most people including myself think the Venom is a much better looking car.

I'm beginning to believe you are on drugs as well.

EVERY THREAD on this forum has had 9 Ugly to 1 Looks good vote.

This car might have amazing fast statistics. Who cares if it's ugly?

Very few people like the looks and the majority of posters that do are the same 6 guys that have from day one. No one else.

I don't fvck ugly women or drive ugly cars. I don't care how good they are at things.

I give no opinion on the other two as I have several times before.

SSC only needs 10 people a year out of the 8 Billion to like it though. So who cares what TS thinks. If they sell their 10 a year they've done ok.

I don't think it matters anyway because I don't believe any of these cars have ever been street legal in the US. Maybe I'm wrong but I believe they aren't.

What? I never got that impression. But, if that's true, I'm in shock. Sure some elements could use a little work but overall I think the design is really inventive and exciting. Oh well.

You're shocked that not everyone thinks it's a beautiful design? Quite frankly, i'm shocked that you think it IS a beautiful design.

It seems to me a lot more than six guys on these boards love the Tuatara exterior design. As an admitted fan of SSC from the days of the Aero, I love the Tuatara, although the interior as rendered is absolutely atrocious and I dearly hope that they change it prior to production. In my estimation the response to the exterior design of the Tuatara has been overwhelmingly positive.

Regardless of one's opinion of the car's aesthetics, I think it should get some respect as an amazing second effort from a start up manufacturer which has moved on to its second model. Not many start up supercar companies make it through the production of their first car, let alone to a second model.

Anyway, great photos, and I look forward to seeing what the Tuatara can do.

John Hennessey has said that the Venom GT will be given type approval. I have seen no evidence thus far to this effect. To date it remains an Exige with an engine swap; provided the Lotus computer talks to the V8 (as John says it does), it shouldn't be an issue.

As far as the Tuatara, we shall wait and see. The Ultimate Aero, as best as I can tell, has never been approved by any U.S. regulatory agency, and thus is no more legal here than a Zonda or a Cizeta. Since EU emissions regulations closely mirror those of the U.S., it is reasonable to infer that it isn't legal in the EU either.

It's funny seeing the two cars side by side like that. You can definitely tell it wasn't an in-house design with the Tuatara.
