Boy you're quick one aren't you? Any particular reasons? Considering the Mclaren trashes all mentioned cars in this thread I wouldn't make those pronouncements. Based on all availible information the Mclaren gets approximately 0-60 time of 3.3 s and a top speed of 241. The only thing that will beat that will be the Koenigsegg (mebbe with the speed), the S7 (already done it with accel, Road and Track), and of course the Bugatti which should be quite impressive.

http://www.paganizonda.com/compare/index.html Note that the Pagani has got nice torque and hp numbers but its a bit fat from those creature comforts. The Zonda, as far as I'm concerned will never be a groundbreaking car. It's beautiful, fast, and agile but it's not the best out there by a long shot. Also the new Koenigsegg CC 8S (the 2003 model) has slightly more power and less weight and also has a much heftier price which makes it run about 390,000.

Following information availible at paganizonda.com:

"C12 Performance
Top Speed: Over 185 mph est.

C12 S Performance
Top Speed: Over 200 mph
0 - 62 mph: 3.7 seconds"

So far the test at Nardo for the CC, which was conducted as a light rain began, clocked the CC going about 220. Koenigsegg feels confident it can reach 240 now, and I'm fairly confident that is possible. Said information is found from www.koenigsegg.com. So right now the Koenigsegg is on pretty even footing since it costs 40k more and has improved performance. Beauty of course is in the eye of the beholder now isn't it?
