Top Gear photoshot: SSC Ultimate Aero, Hennessey Venom GT & SSC Tuatar
#33
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.

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.

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.
