Well it's just perferctly clear that this car is not going to knock the McLaren F1 off it's throne - just as I have thought all along.

This is what I posted then - and I stand by it 100%

Only one of these cars is truly worthy of the title "king of the Supercars" and that is the McLaren F1.
Although I am strangely attracted to the Enzo and I love the CGT, the McLaren is undoubtedly the most important car among them, historically speaking.
The Bugatti is very attractive and I love it's interior, but in reality, it is "male jewelry". It's not a car for the true automobile connoisseur.
The engineers of the Bugatti were totally preoccupied with the speed of the thing and it's 0-100kmh time. Its claim-to-fame, in fact it's raison d'être, is that it is the fastest and most expensive car in the world - unfortunately that is not what the essence of a true super-car is all about.
The McLarren is not about glamour or ostentation, it wasn't designed to be a toy for playboys. It was designed to give it's owners the ultimate driving experience and everyone who owns one says there is nothing else like it in the world.
The Bugatti is a status symbol - it will loose it's allure....once something faster and more expensive comes along. The McLarren is a legend - it was built to be driven rather than just admired and talked about, it will always be considered one of the most important cars ever built whereas the Bugatti Veyron will eventually be just another footnote in automotive history.
