I know that the bugatti veyron is a really fast car but it will be out of my reach forever cause 1.5million euro is too much.

This is the car that i am going to own one day and it is going to be the hardtop version







In the supercar world this car is what it's all about and trust me this car is amazing.

You have to see also the top gear review

Frostie, I've driven the F430 and there is nothing like it anywhere. But, why not the spider? Why the coupe? Just wondering.......

In a normal car the front end and the back end are joined together by the floor and the roof. If you remove the roof you end up with less weight and the car has a funny behaviour when driving it. It's like the early saab convertibles.
Because of the reduced weight the car has to be strenghtened so that it has more balanced weight because of the absence of roof. The added weight makes the overall weight of the car less balanced and it destroys the performance, aerodynamics, handling, economy in fuel etc. Generally softop cars spoil everything.

Now if the same car could be made with a hardtop convertible like the mercedes SL i would prefer it more. But softop like is not my choice

You'd look damn good driving the soft top

Incredible speeds.....wouldn't want to try it myself.
Uh, Kurt, I think you got your conversion backward. 130 kph = 80.8 mph. No wonder the Porche passed you like you were standing still - you were.
