A veyron&#x27;s brake job costs more than a BMW S1000RR motorcycle, which can keep up with that car on most tracks. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ujSvsyY15GE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ujSvsyY15GE</a> And the last time i checked, you had to ship the car to france to have the work done.<p>I own a slightly less race-specced bike than the S1000RR, but i take a lot of pleasure in being able to get off the line in under 3 seconds at about an order of magnitude less cost than most cars that can do that.<p>Stating the obvious: hypercars aren&#x27;t interested in performance-dollars very much.

It is literally a symbol of having more money than you care about. The cost IS the feature. This is just ad copy.
