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.
What's wrong with that? This car was not meant to be the ultimate sportscar or track car or the ultimate in luxury, it was meant to be a good combination of the two in the theme of the old Bugattis that were outrageously expensive and extravagant. The car is not meant to compete with the McLaren F1 or other real super sports cars, even though the Bugatti probably handles extremely well given the physics of its weight and setup.
What's wrong with getting the Beckhams and Hiltons on your waiting list? This is basically who these cars are catered to, whether they are celebrities or not.
