I wonder what a salvage title Veyron goes for.

Gilchrist said he doesn't know if the car was salvageable

Oh yeah no biggie dude just back it out.

oh, about tree fiddy.

My funtoi... Meets my dirty caramel desires. tested and approved by "The Tita" himself.

Accidentally.

The Veyron.

>:|

just kidding

But seriously the joke is on you guys, he did this on purpose to get the insurance money

-Performance wise its the fastest production car ever built ( i dont think its been beaten yet right?)
-Its got many advanced features (the self adjusting spoiler, stance adjusting suspension) all geared towards performance
-Its most impressive feature is its performance, power, handling, etc. not its luxury.

Im not sure why you have trouble viewing it as a sports car. Sure it has a pretty luxurious interior but to me that makes it even more amazing. Even with a fairly large and luxurious interior it still outperforms anything else on the road.

And of course theres always the whole 16 cylinders, 1000hp, 4 turbos, 10 radiators thing.

I might just be blindly in love but i can't get enough of the Veyron. Its an incredible machine in my opinion.

It does not outperform anything else on the road. The Veyron does ONE thing: top speed. it is not known for exceptional handling. It is not known for any other sports car traits. It JUST goes really fast. The Rolls Royce Phantom has a big V12 and goes really fast, too. It is not a sports car.

Adjustable spoilers and dynamic suspension are not high tech. The freaking Chrysler Crossfire has an adjustable spoiler. And tons of cars have dynamic suspension.

SPEED does not a sports car make. Just ask an Elise. Top speed is pointless for anything but bragging rights. It does not win races.

The Veyron is an exercise in over-the-top. Everything is done big. That is exactly the opposite of a sports car. Its top speed performance is neat, and it's an interesting car. But it's not a sports car. Line it up for comparison next to Corvettes, Ferraris, Lotuses, McLarens...it stands out as the big fat blob of excess. It's a luxury car with tons of power...which isn't really anything unique. All Rollses and Bentleys have lots of power, too.

The car is DEFINITELY luxury. You will never see a Veryon on a track unless it is on Forza or GT.

Only 1000hp?

I hate argueing with people smarter than me LoL. (I knew you were, even before i started btw)

But to be honest ill always think of the Veyron as a sports car over a luxury car. And you'll probably think the other way. Its more of an opinion i guess. I see a sports car as pushing the limits and a 16 cylinder, 4 turbo, etc (stuff i said above) car certainly does that in my opinion.

Edit: I knew i was forgetting a few things. The Veyron is also much more well rounded from what i've read and seen. Acceleration of the fairly heavy, "luxury" car is good (0-60 in 2.5-2.8), and a couple of sites claim that "Its handling is almost as impressive as its top speed and acceleration".
Heres the 5th gear handling test also, in case you haven't seen it in yet:

Shelby America Arrow.

the Koenisseegegeegge isn't much slower either...and a real exotic.

Seriously right?!?! Man you should totally engineer a better motor! and more power! In fact you should sell your vehicle and buy a veyron just so you can trash the hell out of it and show them how ballin you are.

That was a stupid response. I am simply arguing against everyone saying it is some great marvel. It's a car for the fanboys.

Pound for pound it isn't very good.

Right, a car for the fan bois...

Fanboys of what?
Bugatti doesnt have fanboys....the EB110 is the only gatti i like and thats just cuz it looks like a supercar version of the Z32.

VW might have fanboys but that doesnt automatically make them Bugatti fanboys
So the Veyron is a car for fanboys of what exactly?

Garbage. They should all be in lakes. 16.4 liters, 16 cylinders, quad-turbo. Only 1000hp?

I do agree with this though.
The SSC Aero is a V8 and has 1 supercharger half the cylinders and it makes similar HP and goes faster.

And the CCR has simliar performance and is also a V8.
So 16 cylinder 4 turbos and only 1000HP?....yeah they could have done better.

Fanboys because they believe the words of Jeremy Clarkson to be the words of Jesus Christ.

It's just a car of numbers, and numbers make ignoramuses (that's actually a word?) want them despite not know what the numbers mean. It sounds really cool.

The video of the crash is another perfect example, he thought it was a Lamborghini and it was his dream car. He knew nothing about it, it just looked cool to him and wanted it because Lamborghini has a desirable reputation. But it wasn't one...

Dude, my IQ is low enough.
I dont want it reaching profound levels....but i fear if i try dissecting what you are/were trying to say in that post i might actually achieve Profound Retardation.
Could you please, rephrase that in a way thats easier to understand for people with low IQs?
Cuz as is, i dont see an answer to the question i asked earlier.

Ill rephrase my question and turn it into a fill in the blank sorta thing so i can get a clear concise answer and walk away educated.

The Bugatti Veyron is a car that was designed and engineered for Fanboys of _____________________
^Fill in the blank in as few words as possible, and ill be happy.

It wasn't that complex of a response. People like it because they feel as though they should. Fads and styles, bandwagons... That is what the fanboys love; what everybody else does.

But I'll keep it Kindergarten for you and just fill the blank with "cars". You win!

So you think people like the Veyron simple because other people like it?
Not because they genuinely like the car.

Are you sure you are not just being a non-conformist. Disliking the Veyron simply because so many people like it.
Im sure there are some Veyron lovers who love it simply because person A loves it. But i bet there are more who like it because it looks frikkin sexy, and has performance to match its exotic looks.

I want that paint job on my Veyron!!!!
