@DrAcid33 HAHAHA you make me laugh, you seriously think a M5 can beat this :S, No offense to the M5 its a brilliant sports sedan, but not in the same class as this. The GT-r can anhilate most lamborghini's

@Jaffaraza trust me i am a big fan of the gtr :D that car demolishes any road car out there, and still has 4 seats, a big trunk, and everyday practicality. ofcourse its 10 times better for value for your money but a veyron is a veyron, and unique in its own way like any car is. Watch fifth gear's review on how the veyron is built and youll see that its not just a brute with a big engine (which it is), but theres more to it

@hamram32 Hamram bhai, I know about the Veyron SS and I also know it's top speed is 267 mph not 269. It costs £1.6 million for an over-engineered, over-priced, over-rated ugly fashion statement. Lol the Veyron is a technological marvel? The Nissan 2012 GTR is to the Bugatti Veyron GTR what a mobile phone is to 2 empty beans tins with a line of string between them. The technology on that car is so advanced, no other car manufacturer has a clue how it produces that much speed with those specs.

[hamram32]

@Jaffaraza if i had 2 million to spare, ofcourse i wouldn't buy a veyron. i would rather have a whole garage full of other cars. Veyron buyers are mega millionaires who consider it pocket change, and they already have loads of other cars as well.

[hamram32]

@Jaffaraza Jaffar bhai, your point isn't valid. its's not supposed to be a track warrior. Before you go on any further about your SSC rant, consider that the veyron weighs 1200 pounds more! Plus it seems like you really havent done your research because the supersport veyron does 269mph. I love the SSC too, but the veyron is a technological marvel. It is a showcase of what technology can do these days. the whole SSC was built on the same budget that it took to build the veyron's dashboard.

fu** all luxurious super cars. this car is the beast!

[Jaffaraza]

@hamram32 A symbol of what? Is it a racing car? Hell no, there are plenty of things that beat it on a track. Is it a GT car? Again, there are better options. Is it the fastest car in the world? The SSC is in straight lines and in corners. Is it practical? Nope. I'm pretty sure that there much better symbols of wealth for much less such as the Phantom. Lol it's not a symbol of respect either, rather a sign that you have more money than brains.

[hamram32]

@Jaffaraza no one buys a veyron based on numbers. You can call it a fashion statement, I call it a symbol. it represents achievement, wealth, and respect.

[hamram32]

@bapatata68 i love both cars, but do you really think any veyron owner bought that car based on performance numbers?? sure the numbers matters, but I'm pretty sure veyron owners didnt base their decision on that. They knew for the same price they couldve had a garage full of exotics, but they still chose the veyron because it is a symbol, i repeat a SYMBOL. If someone tells you that they have a GTR, youre gona be like woww! if someone tells you they have a veyron, you'd bow down in respect.

So with

1) the additional practicing by the drivers and

2) the ***tens of millions of yen*** spent for the 2012 model (costs passed on to the customers, of course),

they got a 0.0045% improvement. Facts are facts. Carlos Ghosn must be pissed.
