Too much work for me!

My thoughts exactly!!

A Japanese sports car, at a tiny fraction of that crazy price, has a top which disintegrates into the trunk at the mere touch of a button!!

What is the purpose of that car anyway?

Technological Showcase, Tearing apart the laws of physics

, a clear marketing move towards brand re establishment and doing something that nobody has ever done

Mind you a Bugatti Veyron unit costs 5,5 million euros for Bugatti to manufacture it and they sell the car for 1 million. They will never make money out of this project

This car is a Concorde moment

Only 300 will be made and 220 already have already been sold

I know what you mean!

Porsche did the same with the 959 back in the late 80's. The car was also used for racing like Paris Dakar. Ferrari is also using their master piece Enzo (FXX) for racing. The Veyron in the other hand is just for show. What is the point of having all that power and technology and not be able to take it to the track and enjoy it. Will those 220 buyers ever get together and race its other like the FXX owners do? As I said before I know what you mean though.

For that much money I would rather buy an ex M. Schumacher F1 car HANDS DOWN.

Undoubtedly the bugatti is not a track car it's all about exclusiveness, prestige, quality and luxury. However it is mighty fast on a track despite the fact that it weighs nearly 2 tons. This car managed to beat lots of track cars inside a track and i am talking about cars like the Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo, Maserati MC12, Ferrari 599, Pagani Zonda F, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Nissan GT-R, Lambo 560 and 640, Koenigsegg CCX, Porsche GT3RS and the list goes on and on. Of course the reason why it managed to beat most of the hardcore super cars is because the engine delivers 1001 bhp.

Well the Bugatti can be used in a track but you are definitely not going to enjoy it. For a track car i would choose a Porsche anyday plus the porsche is more affordable

Truth be told a bugatti is not made for track use but it is undeniably the biggest automotive engineering marvel so far IMHO

The 959 Porsche was a great car. 0-60 in just 3,6 seconds WOW

356 speedster · 13 February 2009, 09:43 AM

With 16 cylinders it better beat any car out there. Imagine, a small block Chevy engine can easily produce 500hp. Now,try to have 2 of these in a car.

No, I am not trying to compare the two engines, I am just saying you have the equivalent of two engines in one car.

Back in 1973 the Porsche 917/30 was able to produce 1500hp in qualifying trim and 1000hp during races and that was in a 5.4 liter engine. Amazing!!!!
If I remember correctly Mark Donahue had driven that car at speeds of 250mph.

mretzloff · 13 February 2009, 12:01 PM

That car is a joke. $3M and a manual roof, wow. For $3M you could get a Mitsubishi Evolution, mod it, and outrace any Bugatti out there. And you'd have money left over.

Velitsko, I want that car. The interior is breathtaking.

Marrk · 16 February 2009, 04:57 AM

Beautiful and exciting, frostie.

And I bet it is even more so in person . . . I think it is the only celebrated supercar that I have not seen on the streets of Los Angeles.
