    Nah its a shit car piss poor slow.
    There'll be somet different out next year just as quick if not quicker.

    Its a vehicle that is capable of 200mph+ .Not driving round a poxy little track with cones round I bet stig didn't even top 100mph. Stick them round the ring and you'll have a better results I'm sure.

    Zonda F my fav car in the world!!! Love them

    Get a supercharger or twin turbo conversion on the Zonda and run that drag race again lol

    Sure the Veyron would do better on a bigger track and maybe some R888's lol

    Seeing the Zonda so makes me want to replace the vx panel in carbon but not sure it would carry it off as well LOL

    They already have and the new Nissan GTR is faster round the ring by nearly 2 seconds, proves that the veyron is speed weapon not a track toy

    No, it proves how incredible the Veyron is given its weight.

    The Veyron is a truimph because it manages to simultaneously attain either outright dominance or 'very close to the best' in so many measurable statistics, it beggars belief. The notion that somehow the Zonda is a 'better' car purely because it went round the TopGear track .7 seconds quicker is absolutely laughable. By that token we'd all be choosing Gumberts

    That said, the Zonda was breathtaking and looks/sounds staggering (to coin a phrase). Also the GTR (which I saw up close in a showroom in Ginza, Tokyo in May this year) is about the only other car in the world that manages to pull off the same trick as the Veyron; the defiance of physics, lol. And it does that at an affordable price (though it needs to as it has a Nissan badge on the front).
