Default Balla purchase

Bugatti Veyron
Bugatti Veyron leaves Formuila 1 Race car in the dust
Super balla purchase and its only $1.5 million!

Cliff notes: Super sick car maxes out at 408 km/hr (~250 mph) on race track
Bugatti races Yamaha R1 on highway and leaves it in the dust
Porsche can barely compete with Veyron

The thing weighs 2 tons. Sure it goes fast in a straight line, but it's ugly and lacks passion.

It's probably the best cornering 2-ton car, sure.

But the laws of physics can't be defied. Something that weighs half as much will corner much better.

amazingly, it'll beat almost anything around a track. it's the sickest piece of engineering ever. bugatti takes a loss at the $1.5 mil price tag. haven't watched the op links to know if they're any good, but they'll likely give you some understanding.

Actually I understand very well.

I'll agree the Veyron will beat any current ROAD car on a track, just due to its acceleration. Any possible time lost on the corners will easily be made up in the straights.

And yes, I agree that it's an amazing piece of engineering. I personally don't like the way it looks however, but that's a subjective thing. Given a choice I'd much rather have a Pagani Zonda F or something.
