    On the other hand, if you payed that much for the car, you'd better be able to do what you want to it. If I owned this car, I'd donate it to the Highway Insurance Research Institute or something like that and have it crash tested (or any other Veyron for that matter).
    The Veyron is actually VERY capable/quick around a track.

    I know it's quick, but I doubt it could keep up with a McLaren F1, which is a focused track car and it's major competitor/benchmark when it was being designed.

    On a very tight track with barely any straights it would definitely show it's major weakness. Even with all the power in the world it couldn't save itself.

    Ugly as sin.
    BUT: As a marketing excercise for the clothing label "A Bathing Ape" aka BAPE, it'll work like a charm. BAPE clothes and gear are totally in the hit lists of the stylish youth all around the planet, Japan, UK, US, and Canada etc. Here's the wiki pedia:BAPE.
    It's probably all vinyl work too. Anyway the owner/wahtever dude at BAPE likes to do this shit:

    It's going to be like that Top Gear race between the ricer 306 and the Austin-Healey Sprite. The sprite won even with a disadvantage.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    If that's a guy driving that, he should be ashamed. Honestly...

    Couldn't he do it in baby blue with flowers and flames on it?
