Question Just out of curiosity: Veyron SS or Agera R?

Lets say you're a super wealthy person who wants to purchase a hypercar. You don't want a Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren, or anything used, but rather a brand new European car that's produced in smaller numbers and costs at least a million dollars.

Now lets say that you've narrowed down your choices to either a Veryon or an Agera but why have the reggla-deggla version? You decide you want either the Veyron Super Sport or an Agera R. Here are the specs:

Veyron SS
1200hp
0-62 mph: 2.5s
0-124 mph: 6.7s
0-186 mph: 14.6s
Top speed: 268 mph
$2.42 million

Agera R
1140hp
0-62 mph: 2.9s
0-124 mph: 7.5s
0-186 mph: 14.5s
Top speed: 273 (Koenigsegg est.)
$2.5 million (WSJ est.)

Wanted pictures? I'm sure you know how to use Google

Note: I don't want this thread to turn into a shit storm with people calling each other wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if you think they are fcking insane.

So...what's your pick? Also, have fun on both the Bugatti and Koenigsegg websites configuring your own

Don't really care about which is faster. The Agera is by far the better looking car so that is my choice.

Either or, but if i had to pick it would be the Agera R. I like the body styling of it better than the bugatti.

No, it's not brand new like stated in my post

I do love the CCX though. Plus you can get one for half the price of an Agera R...

What are the production numbers on each? Google is no help. If I were spending that much on anything, I would want it to be as rare as possible. The Agera looks better parked, but the Veyron looks like a beast when driven. The Agera's numbers are impressive out of a V8. However, having a car with 16 cylinders, 4 turbos, and 2 tons moving faster is more impressive.

I'd go with the Veyron as I think its a more impressive engineering feat as well as a more unique design.

Out of a total 300 Veyrons produced, 40 Veyrons were SS.

Koenigsegg, as of March 2010, had only sold 80 cars cars since 2002. When revealed in 2010, planned production of the Agera was 12-15 cars a year. That was before the R was announced.

Koenigsegg FTW. I mean, I would not kick the Bugatti out if you gave one to me.




But, honestly, where is the Pagani Zonda in this?

Used McLaren F1. End of story.

That is if you could find one for sale. But given these two choices, I'd go with the Agera R. The Veyron is to damn ugly for me.

Personally if I'm going for a hypercar I want one that I'm confident could kill me with the slightest mistake, and I tend to believe the Agera R is much more of a drivers car.

Agera, because Veyrons are too common around SoCal.

Oh, and I accidentally selected the Veyron in the poll instead of the Agera due to clumsy use of the touchpad on a laptop.

Have to agree. Very tough choice... but something about that Veyron. Interior doesn't hurt either

The Veyron is one of the ugliest cars I think I know of. I've tried to like it...but I don't.

I love and respect the Veyron, it's an automotive achievement like no other; but looking at buying either of these cars, I'd rather have the Agera R because I love the styling inside and out, and the fact that it's a V8.

And anyone looking for pics



Also in red because I think it's equally as beautiful as white, however I would buy the white, I'm a fan of the contemporary style.

if you need ANY MORE evidence, have a look at the track footage here:

Veyron because it's a Bugatti, it's THE hypercar, and because I'm not as much a fan of the Agera's aesthetics.

That said, if I was a Russian oligarch, I'm sure I'd have both but neither really stir the passion in me.

Huayra would have been a good one to add as well! DAMN!

Zonda is out of the question because it's not brand new
