The engine is essentially what you would find in those sleepers too, a simple 1350hp 6.8L V8.

Looks functional to me. You haven't seen a lot of cars, apparently...

tuataras are not fast land animals. That's like naming your fighter plane like "dove" or "pigeon".

sure it's faster, but it's probably not as easy to drive, comfortable and as safe as the Veyron. It's hard to beat in that aspect.

Would have been impressive if they actually ran the car up to 275MPH instead of bragging about something they haven't done yet.

They didn't name it for that reason though.

The Tuatara lizard is said to boast the fastest evolving DNA in the world, hence SSC’s decision to name their record-breaking speedster after it.

It may beat the veyron in sheer speed. But it ends there. That car does luxury, sport, comfort, blinding speed etc all at the top of it's class. And could do it all day every day.

I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'

nothing is safe at 275mph, a dip in the road in most cars at anything over 200, can be catastrophic.

Anything can look good on paper but I'd rather see actual results of the experiment.

Takes a pretty good dip... Or a shitty car.
