yeah dag i was thinking that . but wanted confirmation, as either bugatti had the aerodynamicical design of the future, or nowadays it has so much power it could look like one of their old monstrosities and it wouldnt matter . also come to the conclusion this week that the veyron is an ugly mofo . only for the figures which makes it better looking than it really is .

I thought that until i seen it in person moving...it's a lot smaller than you expect and not as conspicuous as other hypercars...my misses didn't even notice I had to point it out...and it drove slowly right in front of the footpath as we were waiting to cross.I like that about it.

I seen one at Goodwood when they came out first and i didn't give it a second glance. Lots more better looking cars out there at half the price. You could modify a Lambo up to the same power level and still have change in your pocket. 
What did strike me is how tiny it looked. The roof is only about waist high.

Completely missing the point of the car, a Casio watch will tell the same time as a patek philippe hand made watch... doesn't mean they are comparable

Not missing the point at all. Lamborghini not = Casio watch. The power is the only redeeming factor the Bugatti has, otherwise it is an ugly MF. That same power can be had for a way less dollars, is all i'm saying.

Also plenty other cars with that power RUF, the Venom , the Ultima SS..the difference is the Veyron does 260 mph in supreme comfort with supreme build quality...a Lambo can't compare with the craftsmanship in a Veyron.
There are planet of underground racing TT Gallardo's out there running 1100whp which would savage a veyron but Gallardo's are just not that special..the R8 is far nicer car in terms of the cabin

I like that GT-R more than the Veyrunt.
The Veyron along with the Lexus LFA are technical exercises to show what the companies are capable of. They are supreme examples of engineering no doubt, but they both lose money for each one they sell.

And that's why there both incredible cars..I don't believe the money lost bullshit but....don't buy it for a second...they may be calculating it against the initial run of cars(Bugatti made almost twice what they original said) but they still end up with significant assets in the terms of carbon weave looms for the lfa etc...
So much crap spouted in the promo release about the LFA..."it uses new superlightweight material" ..yet its not any lighter than a 458 or 12c both of which its smaller than...
and "we had to use digital rev meter because an analogue one couldn't keep up"......of course discounting every superbike made in the last 10 years that uses an analogue rev counter
