Basically, the Veyron outshines everything in terms of HP, torque and straightline performanace, but we all know that those are not the sole, or even the most important, criteria in judging a sports car. The person who wrote this article should be shot. Sorry for the rant but I'm tired of people just looking at HP, 0-60 and top speed to determine a car's worth. The Veyron is a hugley heavy tank and no amount of horsepower or torque is going to get over that fact. I'm betting it's tap times are extremely disappointing. Now I'll take a Lotus Exige and the leftover $1,150,000 please. |
On top of what he said... the first time I found out that this car has a $30,000. Why?
To me, this car is similiar to what the SLR is. It's just a confused car designed by confused engineers. I know people will send the dogs at me, but I honestly think that if you are going to try to prove something, then you gotta do it the right way. There's no need for all that luxury stuff in the car. You either make it a real sports car (McLaren F1) or you make it into a GT (Bently GT). If you try to mix both, all you'll get are Beckhams and Paris Hiltons on your waiting list.
