      The SS doesn’t look elegant at all. The rear overhang is way too long, the front bumper has two huge gaping holes that makes it look aggressive. I feel like the Chiron was designed as an art sculpture and this just added bits to make it look aggressive. I’m not sure they actually needed to add those extra 25cm to the rear end and also create massive vents at the front at the same time. It doesn’t strike me as a slippery shape.

      I just think on the whole, this car looks better than the standard, and miles better than the veyron. The Veyron looked bulbous and swollen, like a super car that got stung by a bee. This car is still rounded and curved, but it's profile is so much better to look at, especially from the front. the way it looks lower and wider suits it so much more.

He's got a sense of wit, humor, experience, and a subtle but clear understanding of how the vehicle operates that he just kind of spontaneously says as he works the machine. He's definitely presenter material and was an invaluable contributor to what made the old show great. Even now as a solo act he's killing it.

    Really enjoyed that. Never thought I'd see a production vehicle capable of over 300mph in my lifetime. I remember 250mph being an insane achievement. I always said I would ride at 200mph at least one time in my life but alas old age & sensibility caught up & stopped riding motorbikes long long ago before even buying a motorbike capable of it. Buying a car capable of that speed back then, or now, was a dream or totally unjustifiable. I resigned myself to saying 160mph was fast enough, nothing in todays landscape but pretty quick over 30 years ago on my piddling little 600.

      ​@@Str8representing i doubt it really starts losing control after that but of course it'll wander on the road more and then there're the tires. Probably not the best idea to go 300+mph at any point in time but get absolutely everything checked before going that speed because tehre's really no recovering if you lose control/tire pops etc. at those kinds of speeds
