I think we should ignore the parent company issue then it just rules out too much. All Audis are SUPERCARS anyway

how would you define the bugatti veyron? its as luxurious as a GT car, faster than a hypercar, and more pretentious than Paris Hilton.

Do you define it in terms of NASA space rockets???

I've put the Veyron in a class with the Maclaren F1. Both were made at a loss as an engineering exercise and went like the brown stuff off a shovel.
