Mallet had a green car he entered in a couple events... complete with scaley green lizard horns on the fenders.
The Veyron is not the "most advanced car humanly possible" - no more advanced than an F40, Macca F1 or a Honda Hybrid.
Engineered solutions to problems are no different whether they are applied to a space craft, a hybrid car, a refridgerator or a mouse trap.
A probelm exists - a solution is engineered.
All that changes is the OPINIONS of the observer, and like arseholes... everyone has an OPINION.
By the way, back to the Testarossa quesiotn - I have researched pruchasing a Testarossa in depth... and the reason I have never bothered following up on any of the $65 to $70K cars that come up for sale every now and again, is because whle the car is great, the car is cheap (relatively) and the car is exotic --- it does NOT lend itself to anything more than a 4th of 5th car oddity in the garage.
You almost HAVE to polish it and admire it, because you are not going to be driving it much.
WHile you can argue that if you are wealthy enough the annual maintenance will not be a problem - it is the fact that the car will not every be "ready to drive".
We are all spoiled with "ready to run" daily drivers, and "super cars on video games" - the reality is sadly that you don't just park you Testarossa for 3 months and then jump in and drive because the weather is good on Saturday morning...
It's a blessing and a curse - ah why bother... anything said is pulled out of context and misrepresented as dreamers and wannabes bad mouth anything and everything that doesn't cost a million bucks.
Over and out.
