I'm surprised though that people were expecting it to be the fastest car on track aswell. On track a big engine doesn't cut laptimes down as much as a well setup chassi and powerful brakes do. Also as said the Veyron weighs slightly less then the universe.
Some people here need to stop making the big hp = low laptimes equation and start thinking about what makes a car fast round the track. YF19pilot had some good points about that.
The Veyron was just built for one reason: To show off! It's only purpose was just to get the Fastest Production Car record to Wolfsburg. Not try to beat Bellofs recordtime.

Quite true. It'd be bought by sluts like Hilton. However, I think the veyron serves many purposes. I've read in Autocar that the Veyron's tyres MAY NOT withstand the speed and power. So I'd be inclined to say this car is more of a show-off of technology and wealth by the VW people.
