I think he refers to the styling and dedication put into the more familiar 'Classic' cars rather than this exercise in "How fast can I make a car go?" Which, at least to me, lacks style, in the way drag racing super-fast rocket car thingies look more like pencils with wheels than cars. |

how can it be an empty shell with no soul when (although I didn't) so many people worked on it. It had so many problems and shit. Took 'em like 4 or 5 years to make it. They really stretched the engineering envelope as far as they could. |

Go to London, you're bound to see a handful of them on a given weekend (maybe it's only one and the owner is just driving it around because that's all I'd do if I had the money to own a car that crazy fast). But yeah, moving to London, I never thought I'd see so many increadibly expensive cars. Automobile mag did an article on the Veyron a while back, and one of the test drivers nearly carrined the car into a wall on the Laguna Seca raceway. Managed to stop his slide/spin less than a foot away from the wall. And I'd take a 911 GT3 any day over a veyron, just me, and I'd save a shit load of money in the process. |

The Bugatti Veyron is an insane car. True, it's not a car that will go down in history as a classic car, but I don't think any rational person would turn down a ride in one. I certainly wouldn't.
Most of the negative comments here I think are justified but on the harsh side. Responding to ||bass' comments, 99% of all considered classic cars of eastern, european and western original are production cars. For instance, what about the Jaguar E-Type, the Mini, The Porsche 911. All of these are classic cars held in the highest regard with a genuine motorsport pedigree- and all production cars. All of these cars have also had years of experience and love put into their design and manufacture. They sold so well and became classics because they are excelent cars that anybody could buy and enjoy not just enthusiasts who had the time and the money to put into making hot-rods. Using a "256 mph" monstrosity of a car is also not the most effective way to criticise the Veyron, either  Pot, meet Kettle...
In other news, I would probably go for a Koenigsegg CCX than a Veyron. They're both demon-cars, but the Koenigsegg is built with a little more love, wisdom and science than the brute-force Veyron. An honourable mention also goes out to the Top Gear 200mph Lotus Esprit. A 200mph supercar done on the cheap was a very tall order, but I think it did an amazing job under the circumstances. |

Any car that you just go out and buy carries no respect at all. It's a penile-compensator. Any car worth the time of day of even looking at has had years of personal loving work done to it. Even those peice of shit rice rockets have more soul to them than that fugly pos. It's looks like a cross between the batmobile and a clown car. Gimme Joe Shmoe's personal attempt to copy the Callaway Sledgehammer any day. |

Man, 0-60 in 2.5? 1000 BHP? 16 cylinders? 7 fucking gears? I would have to say this is one awesome car, my friends. Not only does it look stylish (Which is a matter of opinion), it's got the speed to boot. The only downside is the price tag, because if you have the money to buy such a beast, who gives a fuck about MPG?  |
| Metal Man88 Posts: 332/701 |
Ah, yes. And there was a time the Diablo SV was near the top too.
But if you're only interested in the speed, you'll probably lose interest in it when somebody one-ups it. :p |

For specs, just see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron_16.4
2 Ford GT's total HP combined is only 100 HP more than the Veyron (1100, compared to the Veyron's 1001) Also, for a long (but good) TV show race, see http://youtube.com/watch?v=_YAdKOTPw9Q And to see it takeoff, see http://youtube.com/watch?v=9Fdb8FdXfPU Here's the xbox san andreas mod http://youtube.com/watch?v=JCPLCGg79AI Just check out my myspace http://www.myspace.com/cory21391 As wikipedia so truly stated "The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world" |

What's so great about a car with such an abysmal MPG?  Oooh it looks pretty (not) and can go way faster than I'd ever be allowed to or could control anyway. Big deal. |

I think I saw this in Car and Driver a while back. They're over a million dollars a pop. |
| rubixcuber Posts: 73/356 |
That car at the top is... awful. I think some car designer saw a red car and a black car that were in an accident and was like "That looks good!". |

What about posting weird cars pictures? Maybe there's one that is weird and cool...
