Yes.

My reason being that the car isn't overrated. Volkswagen spends millions more than the asking price just to build each one of those cars, and to make them as amazingly engineered as possible. Now, there is a handful of cars that can match the Veyron's speed. From what I have heard, there is nothing that can match the Veyron's stability at speed. Plus, I'm pretty sure that none of those cars is a 4,000 pound luxury car that just happens to have the capability to go 250+ mph. On top of that, the Bugatti was put into production nearly ten years ago now. That means that ten years ago engineers at Volkswagen set off into uncharted waters of speed and power by spending millions of dollars to fund what is probably one of the most impressive cars that we will see for probably decades to come. In 2005, this car was unveiled with a 1,000 hp engine (what I'm assuming was the first of its kind) and a top speed that was pretty much unheard of and would be the first thing to surpass the record that was held by the Mclaren F1 for a decade.

Other cars may now be catching up to the Veyron, but keep in mind they're trying to set the benchmark of a car that was engineered almost ten years ago, and yet they're still not on par. I would honestly be shocked if we ever see a car that can be on par with the Veyron. Some cars will match or beat the speed and some cars will match or beat the luxury, but there will likely never be one that is able to do both.

I think we can finally put to rest the "Veyron is overrated" thing now, eh? Does anyone even have a reason as to why they would even say that?

Possibly try to be different from everyone else? I have no clue.

That's not an issue of the car being overrated that's just you underrating it. :)

Lamborghini Aventador


I agree with that one too. The Aventador is a great car, but the Murcielago looks better, sounds better, and in my opinion is just better. Everyone likes the Aventador just because it's fast and it's a Lamborghini.

I couldn't agree more. The Aventador is way overdone and inferior to the Murcielago in nearly every way.

In my opinion, the Aventador is great. So is the Murcielago and every other Lamborghini. I don't just like it because it is fast and a Lamborghini. Just the feel of being in one feels good.

Veyrons are overrated because what's the point of having a car that can go 267 mph when all you can (legally) drive it is the native speed limit?

That applies to every exotic that exists.

Lol exactly. With that logic, why even try to do anything? Why make lots of money when lots will go to taxes? Why buy a fast car when you can't drive it all that fast? Why buy a big house if you won't need all the space?

At any rate, there are lots of opportunities for people to drive their cars fast, such as at track events or drag racing events. Bugatti even had that one thing out in Utah (?) earlier this year.

Are you talking about that time the Pur Blanc went 246 mph?

With that logic, why do we even use this website? If we cared about practicality and rationality then we certainly wouldn't have this obsession with exotic supercars.
