1: Its a technological Tour-De-Force
The Veyron is chock full of interesting technology. When it was conceived in 2004, it was the first production street car to have 1000hp, go 250mph, go 0-60 under 3 seconds and so on. To accomplish all of this, the car has massive amounts of new technology. The DSG was the fastest shifting transmission around at the time, and was also the first double clutch transmission in a street car. All this means the technology means that the car is still usable on the street.
