It will have no equal, it will have no limits. We will base it off of the last car we made that destroyed everthing in its path."
in a straight line, the bugatti will still toast it.

Thanks for the vid. I can't imagine having enough money to buy one and then throw it on a track somewhere!

Not only that, but I believe you can ony drive it on the track. Your $x.x million gets you rights to drive the car, but you don't actually have it in your posession..you call ferrari and they ship it out to you with mechanics, etc, you drive it, then they pack it up and bring it back home with them.

All that money and you can't even wander into you garage at night and gaze at it while drinking a beer. That sucks.

The FXX is surely awesome, but as stated, it's a track car alone. The Veyron by numbers walks all over the FXX in the speed department. The only spot where I would give the FXX the edge is in any handling test. I can't see the Veyron fairing well at a track.

Veyron = God's GT
FXX = God's weekend track star

that just kills it.. even tho the FXX is the better car, i would rather have a Koenigsegg CCR for that reason alone.

that car sounds as close to f1 as any streetcar will ever sound. 2 million dollar rental. Yet it is still amazing.

Doesn't Ferrari also offer an arrive and drive program in their retired F1 cars for about 1.5M? I would prefer to drive Michael Schumacher's racer than this thing.

I still like the sound of the Carrera GT better though.
