Again, unrealistic expectations vs. a sound understanding of reality.

Oh and lest we all forget, this is still the true "fastest car in series production" in the world and it's straightline performance is epic. This is a continent-crossing machine - its primary objective is to be fastest and most exclusive road car in the world.

It's not pretty, it's not perfect and it's hardly relevant in this day and age but - for as long as there are car fans on this planet - the Veyron represents the pinnacle of engineering triumph against all odds.

Considering speed limits everywhere, and other conditions (crosswinds tarmac) it won't be faster then some 3 pot econobox on most places/occasions.

Ah those good all unrestricted 400 km/h+ autobahns with petrol stations every 10 minute.

Awsome car BTW, but the Zonda being faster is no surprise.

That's one of the main costraints with the Top Gear track. It's simply too short to do a super car justice. It works well to test the versatility of cars will under 400hp but for the big boys it's simply too short.
