I don’t like the Bugatti Veyron.

6 01 2009

I just don’t.

It’s pretty, but not nearly as much as 90% of most >100,000 € cars.

It’s hideously fast but lacks the passion of a Lamborghini.

The interior is very very nicely made but not superior to any > 100,000 € car.

Now, the Veyron does a magnificent job at topping almost all of the lists, so why shouldn’t you like it? You see, the Veyron is designed for its utmost goal, speed. Sure, it reaches 400 km./h. in a straight line, but who drives at anywhere near that speed anyways. Most you can legally put a car up to in Spain is 120, and at about 200 things begin to get very risky. The car is an engineering masterpiece, but I can’t think of any coherent reason of buying this 1,000,000 € car if you can get something that gives you the same power and interior, and on top looks much better for about 200,000 €. You could say that the 1001 HP would be significant in terms of acceleration, something you could legally experience, but the Veyron isn’t even the fastest around the Top Gear track!

Bottom line, if you have the money to buy the Veyron, buy a Zonda instead. It won’t get you to 400 km./h., but that’s OK, because even if it could you would probably be dead before you got there.
