    CGT, Enzo and even the Ford GT are the best of what the maker can do, yet only a handful are made...
    I'm pretty sure it's just to put something out there every once in a while thats extremely special and will hold a significant place in the manufaturer's history. Something that is not mainstream and something that few people will have the priviledge of owning. A car that will blow other mainstream sports cars out of the water for years to come. Think 959, few sports cars can match its performance, and that thing is 19 years old.

    Mmm, yeah, I recently read an article comparing the Veyron to the 959, as they are both the technological tour de force of their seperate times, and also both very significant. Quite an interesting read

    I loved that car, all the more exciting to see what Porsche is going to spit out next
