It is the most refined super/hyper car there is.
If you go on the other forums where people own Pagani Zondas, The Agera R and these will tell you that it is such a different beast.

I get it, it's "amazing" - I would just prefer a car that can beat it on a race track for 1/10th of the price (the BAC Mono). On the Top Gear track, the Veyron SS is 6th place, and has to be either first or 2nd most expensive

For going fast in a straight line, I would much prefer a Pipistrel Panthera, since I would actually be able to use its top speed, using only 37L per hour and going as the crow flies. Honestly, I don't care how refined something is if I think its useless. For the price of a Veyron, I could buy a Panthera, BAC Mono, a Jeep Rubicon, Ram 2500 with a 6.7L Cummins, Challenger Hellcat, a cabin cruiser, 2 jet skis, 2 snowmobiles, and have $100,000 left over to customize those toys. Sorry, $1M on a car that goes fast in a straight line doesn't impress me. If you think it's worth it to get 1,000HP, consider that a friend of mine worked his old 5.9L 12-valve Cummins I-6 diesel to put out over 1,000 HP. That's on a nurse's salary! I judge everything on a cost-benefit analysis. The Veyron has an extremely high cost, for very little benefit.
