I beg to differ.
Did you fall on your head too many times as a child?

This is a production vehicle with all the creature comforts, full warranty, and style like no other that accelerates from 150-250+ like most cars accelerate from 0-60. Its perfectly aerodynamic and perfectly tame over 200MPH. My brother got the opportunity to drive one, took it up to ~230 - it was considerably more compliant than some shitbox hopped up Civic. Take your broke ass rigged up shit back to the highschool parking lot until you grow up, this is a supercar; this is THE supercar.

There used to be a day when you had to produce more than a several cars a year to be concidered a 'production' car.

Awesome piece of engineering any way you slice it though.

if you're so sure that any company can engineer a car like the veyron, then why hasn't any made one yet? and your whole argument about the LFA making 150hp per liter is a moot point...the LFA is 4 times the price of a GT-R and the numbers aren't much better...why is it that the 150hp per liter Lexus barely keeps up with the GT-R?

And really limit it to 258 vs 264? 6MPH is going to kill tires? Who the fuck can drive that fast all the time and where the fuck do you even get tires to withstand those speeds anyways?
Actually I watched a program on the veyron, and Michelin makes the tires for the car. Each one is hand made and one set costs 18k and is designed to last 6500 miles at normal speed (12min or some shit at max) You get a choice of two tires for the car, street, or track because the sumbitches are like 18" wide in the rear. The tires were over engineered to be able to hit mid 260's, hence the electronic limiting..they were pushing the tires beyond designed limits for the record..so yes, 6mph matters, as the car was only like 13mph off the limit of the tires to begin with.

^ you had it close it runs out of gasoline in 12 minutes at top speed.

also its this

The Bugatti Veyron has a total of 10 radiators
3 radiators for the engine cooling system.
1 heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers.
2 for the air conditioning system.
1 transmission oil radiator.
1 differential oil radiator.
1 engine oil radiator.
1 hydraulic oil radiator for the spoiler.

Ive driven alot of badass cars over the years,Lambo's,Ferrari's,Vipers,SLR Mcclaren,AMG SL65 Blacks,along with alot of badass drag cars. Nothing....nothing compares to the flawlessness of the Veyron.Rides like a Caddy,pulls like nothing else I've ever driven and doesn't stop even after 200mph...The car is a Masterpiece,and they made it even better with the new one.
