25 August 2003Don't ask about gas mileageWhat would you do with a million euros? If your immediate answer is "Buy a car," here's the car you're going to buy: the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which will be produced by Volkswagen (!) in a limited edition of three hundred for yes, one million euros. Plus tax. If your response to this is "But this is insane," well, you'll get no argument from me. I mean, a million euros would buy you quite a fleet of Volkswagen's real cars. Still, zero to 300 km/h (188 mph) in 14 seconds? Top speed of 400 km/h? No. NO. I must look away now. What's insane was my first thought: "Could you fit a car seat in that thing?"

Sure, I'd rather have a Ferarri than a Ford, but that's an apples to oranges comparison. Ask me to choose between the Ferarri, or the Ford with $100,000 in the glove box (to make it even), and I'll take the Ford every time. Posted by: Ravenwood at 4:47 PM on 26 August 2003Just as well. A hundred grand would just about cover an engine rebuild on the Enzo. Posted by: CGHill at 6:50 PM on 26 August 2003 |
