Default Re: the money of all cars...bugatti veyron

I am not too crazy about this car. Why? It looks heavy and it is heavy and the aerodynamics suck (.36 coefficient of drag???). How many cars are even considered sports cars at 4,300 lbs? Nevertheless, an awesome car with some cool technology. If I were to build this, I will limit the use of leather on the interior to minimal standards and give the car a much tighter shape and better aerodynamics. Just think about how much faster and more nimble the car could be with 1,000 lbs less both in a straight line and around corners, and a drag coefficient of about .30? Nevertheless, I bet the designers and engineers were all thinking about these things, but compromises had to be made!
