I heard that bugatti is building tracks so when a consumer buys one, they can test it out at top speed or just cruising through tight *** curves, that car lowers itself depending on which setting you have it on: normal, handling, or top speed mode which requires you to have a special key to turn it into this mode

You sir are

Awesome car, a worthy competitor to the Mclaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo.
It should be a hell of alot more than that is 16 cylinders for god sake! Id rather have a F50. The cars been said to be goin in for production for years now but the real reason is the engine cant be held together. What is the other reasoning for the car not coming out for that long? If youve seen the car on the ring' it handels like a yacht! Lets just see till top gear tests the car and see if it beats the mc12. My money is it wont beat the mc12 around the top gear track or the ring' which scored a 1.19

Gev just because I dont like a 4k lb 1000 horse car ill stay middle class for the rest of my life or do you have a more educated reason? Ha wow i know a couple doctors that drive ford probes because they dont to spend there money and there defiantly not middle class.

I think the car is pretty sick but looking closely at it, doesn't it sort of look like a new eclipse combined with a new wrx? The back def. looks like a 98 eclipse if anything, but maybe it's just me?

yeah I would buy many other exotics before I would buy that one but it is pretty cool. I heard they handle like crap though, (for a million dollar car of course) but compared to other cars that would be in its class I was told that they just don't compete other than of course what it was specifically made for = top speed

The reasoning is the sheer amount of engineering that has to go into a 250mph production car. Getting a reliable 1000hp out of a big engine is not a huge problem. Losing 1000hp worth of heat from the engine, transmission, diffs and brakes...now that is a problem. They had to re-engineer a ton of trivial little things which are not even a consideration in normal cars, like cv-joints boots that bulge due to the centrifugal forces and window seals that simply pop out due to the pressure differences.

My only problem with the car is that it looks like the bastard love child of a nike shoe and a VW beetle. Car is hideious. Goes fast but it took them long enough to get it. I'd rather have a Koenegsigg CCR, and when that hits a straight track it might get that title from the Veryon.
