Thank You!! 

I agree and I do admire the engineering ABbrian, it is a masterpiece of a car. My point is other than rich people trying to one up each other what good is is a consumer car that can 261MPH? 

This is a good answer Auto Guy. I agree, humans will always want to go faster. They have land speed records for that and rocket cars. Just why spend so much for a consumer car that can do it? Other than rich people trying to one up each other what good is is a car that can 261MPH? 

Ok but this still does not answer my question as to why realistically other than to show the limits of speed for cars why would anyone ever need such a car or even go this quickly. Realistically being the key word. 

Kory I never said no one needed a Bugatti. I said “other than to show the limits of speed for cars why would anyone ever need such a car or even go this quickly realistically.” 

Whoa whoa whoa calm down. No need for the personal attacks skraelingshortbus man that was harsh dude. You really took the word “need” out of context. I never said no one needs this car. I said why would anyone need such a car to go this quickly realistically. I also indirectly said rich people “need” such a car to…

Impressive, but other than to show the limits of speed for cars why would anyone ever need such a car or even go this quickly realistically. The way I see Bugatti’s are just rich people trying to one up each other.

I am a car enthusiast (NA Miata, Audi B5, E46 BMW) But I think Nissan is thinking ahead with the leaf. They need a mass market car and realized there was a market for a lower priced fully electric car, took a risk and from what I understand the Nissan Leaf is the best selling electric car today. I am all for sports…

Other than safety (bumper heights, crash protection) can anyone tell me why these dont make it into production? If not for mass market it seems like even if they made 5 or 100 of them and priced them each at 1.5 million rich people would buy them.

uggg these random car drag races always bring up flashbacks for me. FU WHITE ZOMBIE!!

You can get either one of these new in your budget and at the rate they are selling now they might be increasing in value soon. (For the record the spider is NOT a miata, does NOT have a Miata engine or body work, just interior and platform, they are VERY different cars.)

Needs to retro-fit more WING

I remember seeing this back in June. Glad they got it all together:

I REALLY want an electric version of this.

Can someone who knows about unions and corporate America and how this works explain this to me please? I do not understand how if a business no longer sees a plant as profitable and no longer needs the manufacturing is still be responsible at keeping it open at a loss? What am I missing here?

Wish it was that easy. Even if you are the most defensive driver nothing is going to stop someone from running a red light or swerving into you.

To me its about safety. I am all for classic cars and love the way they look, drive and sound, but would hate to be in an accident in a classic 356 both financially and physically. 

Which to be begs the question. How did a startup like Tesla produce a car that is in such high demand (Model 3) in just 15 years? Is it the innovator/entrepreneur and not the corporate machine that drives a company to success?

Fell in Love with the cabrio after this:
