The taking in the "taking in the view" comment is very single minded IMO.

VW produced the car to show what they could do. They never set of to design and engineer a drivers car, they did that back in the 70`s.

What they have done is amazing, the story on the gear box alone in absoultely crazy!

But, then that depends on your definition of a super car.

Personally I think the Veyron has laid down the bench mark in supercars which anything even near same league will be rated against.

Then I doubt anything will be able to walk the gaunlet VW have laid down (not for some time I dount anyway).

If you want a "purist" drivers car your would buy a sports car. e.g. Exige

My two cents worth.

Rich.
