Bitcoincash might be closer to the actual whitepaper by Satoshi(code-wise) because of BCH having no SegWit, but still, NO. The real and original bitcoin will always be the coin that will have the $BTC ticker. With that said, as much as how I'm really thankful to what Roger Ver has done to help bitcoin in the past, I really hate how he advertises BCH as the "real bitcoin". Even calling BTC as bitcoin core. It's stupid.

Think of it this way, bitcoin is sending physical letters while bitcoin cash is like sending e-mail. It has a lower cost to send and can handle more transactions so its superior.  However this may not reflect in the price.
Transaction fees and speed has nothing to do with this.

EDIT: editted my statement to be more specific
