It's a great car, there's no point in saying "you'll never do that speed" because when will you do 150 in a GTI on a public road? It's just knowing that it can go 268 mph. You can't compare it to other cars, it really isn't like any other car ever built. If you take the figures and speeds it can do, they are nowhere near any normal car, the price and servicing costs reflect this. Somebody who can afford this car will have other cars, so practicality is not important. As for the styling, function over form! It's an engineering marvel and is one of the best cars in the world.
