    The Zonda F just looks so much better than the Veyron, probably the best looking supercar today in my opinion

    But the Veyron has its own kind of charm.

    I could not disagree more. The Zonda looks like a leather & carbon swathed mechanical wasp but, at least to my eyes, has none of the beauty of the Veyron. I think that the unlikely outcome its hugely powerful engine being matched with a such elegant design is one of its greatest feats.

    The veyron just looked too heavy for such a track compared to the Zonda. Its a track that is just going to favor light vs power and the veyron just doesnt have that tossability that the zonda has or the gumpert for that matter!

    Both cars are awesome. Considering how much faster the Veyron was in the straight line drag race, the Zonda clearly must have dominated in the corners. That is to be expected, but I honestly thought the power of the veyron would have made up for it. The Veyron looked great around the track, just so smooth and composed, the Zonda on the other hand made it look like the Stig was working to get the most out of it. It would be cool if Top Gear had the telemetry for the cars around the tracks so you could compare entry and exit speeds.

    The Zonda is probably the most beautiful. The noise is also great.

    As for the Veyron... she makes the same noise as a farting pig.

    If you ask me, the Veyron looks like a bullfrog that had a pressured air hose stuck in its mouth for too long, while the Zonda is a bit over the top styling-wise (interior!), but exotic and elegant nevertheless. Different taste, I guess ;)

    The craftsmanship and attention to detail of the Zonda F is incredible. It sounds great as well, but imo it's not beautiful. It definitely is a head-turner given those proportions and shape. I still want one. :) RWD and a 6-speed like it should be!
