The front looks a bit Zonda-like to me.

Zonda was the first thing it reminded me also but unlike you I saw zonda on the side design and not so much in the front

Same, from the side it reminds me of Zonda, not much but slightly.

I just notice Zonda-ness after you've mention it

They ripped off the P4/5, but it's nice to see that some design has gone into it, unlike their last car.

Aero/Zonda, it might break the record, but will never beat the veyron SS on a curcuit.

So Bugatti as speed limited the SS because they can't find tyres that handle the speed of the car but these guys did???? Right.....

I?m not sure about this car and its specs. But tyres will not be a problem, because the difference between the Veyron SS and the SSC are around 600kg!

Exactly. Cars get heavier with speed because the downforce is forcing the car down. The Bugatti weighs about 1800kg. Couple that with a couple of hundred more kg in downforce and the tyres come under immense pressure. Even the lighter Koenigsegg Agera, for instance, has to be speed-limited if you order the large rear wing, because the whole car then makes so much downforce that the tyres get shredded at very high speed! If SSC are to reach their target of 275mph, they need to balance the aero to prevent tyre-shredding while still keeping it on the island. It'll only weigh around 1200kg, so they should be alright.

Jason Castriota did a wonderful job bringing a true supercar styling to the brand. the original UA just look a little too kit car like, as it was.

Looks OK in the pics but blimey does it need a new name. It doesn't get anywhere near the appeal on Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo or even Pagani Zonda. It sounds like the moniker you'd read on a cheap desktop computer.

Come on guys, there is absolutely no Zonda in this car. it's way too angular. and not nearly as pretty. But i do hope it spanks the Veyron

The bonnet, the windshield and the side-mirror style are cleary Zonda like.

@rotaer... you are clearly blinded by your love for the zonda...it does not resemble the zonda on anything other than having a very sharp nose, which many cars have and looks to be derived more from the P4/5 project.
