this is deff not the best car in the world ok it may be technologically packed but just because it reach's a very high speed thats not really what a car is about it is?
although i would have to admit anyone driving round in one would get constant attension and compliments where ever they went

Why are people so blinkered by numbers? 
It must be the best because it's was fastest.

I'd rather an Atom with the change from the Veyron to buy a house and some more cars Veyron wouldn't be in "my" top 5, prob not my top 10 tbh.

Can you name one for each please?
I can...
New Skyline is probably more technologically advanced.
And the Carrera GT sounds better.
Veyron is the fastest, but by no means the best.
I'd rather have a McLaren F1.

Time, decay.
The materials used to build the McLaren means it should never rust.

So what was used to build a McLaren, and to build a Veyron? I was under the impression they were both aluminium chassis'.

Some good info there, but you can do the research.
I cannot really comment on the veryon, but i should imagine its made or plastic, carbon fibre, some aliminium... The F1 is gold plated, lots of carbon composite etc. I remember reading the intital write ups stating how the materials are non corrosive. The workmanship is a work of art. Even Kenwood was employed to design an ultra light stereo for it.
Hamish, well, its a car? What do cars do eventually?????

Its just the engine bay thats gold plated. Supposedly it was the only material that would withstand the temperature from the engine.

That titles quite far fetched for the Veyron.
How do you know the owner isn't female?
And it looks like a poof mobile in YOUR opinion, but its the owners cash, so why not?
Far fetched in what way? One of the best cars ever?

I'd do some research into cars then.
McLaren F1 was doing what the Buggatti was a decade ago. Without 4 turbos, without 10 radiators, without a computer system designed by NASA etc...
Don't get me wrong, its an amazing car, useable, fast, ok-ish round a track, but:
a) the top speed has been beaten by a few cars
b) theres far superiour handling cars out there
c) theres more technologically advanced cars out there.
d) theres better looking cars
e) theres better sounding cars
f) all of which are cheaper than the veyron.
When are you going to get near 200mph, let alone 250mph? Don't forget to spend 10 minutes setting the bugger up for its top speed run.
AS said, it IS an amazing car, but not the best by a LONG way.
The Bugatti will hit 200mph before the F1, and that is with the F1 having a 130mph head start. That car would DESTROY an F1.
It will also DESTROY it in the upmost of comfort.
Name as many cars that will be as comfortable at that speed? ANY?
That car was not built to be the best in every department, it was built to show what they can do. If you believe otherwise, you are retarded.

I am bitterly disappointed in you for that statement. It is not the best car in the world (as we all have different opinions) but it is something VERY special. Beyond any other car in manufacture for what it is about.
