No car is worth a million dollars. That's not to say they don't demand that much for it and some fool pays it, but no car is worth a million dollars.

If he can afford a million dollar car then he can afford another to replace it. Self insure.

Sadly back in '95 I ordered a poorer man's supercar, waited 6 months for it to come in, and went sideways across a median 8 hours after picking the car up.  I'll hold my criticism on this one .  Luckily mine only involved a rear axle, wheel/tire, fender, minor undercarriage work...ugh.

Bugatti Veyron is worth a lot more...The huge amount of R&D, the cost of building it...the limited production (and all were spoken for)

They run one of the biggest scams and get rich schemes in america. Its his car or so it appears. They own a learning company where they teach you to trade forex and pay them to do the lessons and learn and be apart of their forum and its membership based. They bring people in by showing them fancy cars and the lifestyle. Just search their names and you'll soon know everything you need to know.

Ordinarily I would agree.   But given the way Clarkson reacted to it, on a rainy track no less, I am gonna accept it.

The Pagani Hyura thing and Mclaren P1 are in the league of nothing else comparing to them.

You realize even with seven figure price tags most of the companies that make super cars and hyper cars barely make any money right? The R&D and production costs are so high on cars like this most companies like Lamborghini and Ferrari have teetered on the brink of bankruptcy for most of their lives.  The 106 examples of the McLaren F1 that were built in the 90's came close to putting McLaren into bankruptcy as well. VW lost tens of thousands on every Bugatti Veyron that rolled out of the factory.



ETA: There's a reason companies like Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati etc. etc. have all been bought up by huge conglomerates and it wasn't because their stuff didn't sell or that they were raking in huge margins on each car.

And yet, the Sistine Chapel is no more than a ceiling with some paint on it.

Anything can be deemed "art" It's a car. It gets from point a to point b using petrol just like my car. It just happens to go faster and look "sportier"

It's functional art. You obviously aren't a gear head so your point is invalid.

ETA:

Here is a picture of a guitar I recently bought. It's a bunch of wood, wire, plastic, and steel so it's not art either I guess. There are hundreds or thousands just like it  throughout the world but yet they aren't the same as this one. No two will sound or feel exactly alike.I instantly felt a connection with this guitar when I picked it up even though one just like it that I played years ago was meh at best.  Again it is a functional piece of art that someone put a lot of sweat into the making of. If you can't appreciate the melding of art and engineering in  a sports car, or the art that went into the production of an instrument then I believe you don't really know what art is.

What kind of work allows a 27 year old the ability to purchase a P1.  Not jealous, just interested in doing better in life.

I know 3 guys under 27 years old that are multi millionaires.

Eta: For those inquiring about the career necessary for this type of wealth, they do not have one career. They all have multiple projects going on simultaneously. Two are in the music industry and own several businesses, properties, etc.  One is a 26 year old CEO of a corporation that still drives a 1986 F250 (for now)

Poorer than a Viper but with still with some minor Hennessey under the hood, only sightly richer than a 'Stang...  Friendly dealer covered the axle repair as "factory defect."  Its good to have friends.
