The Veyron was built for speed not the track. It goes 65MPH faster than a S1000RR, but made huge sacrifices to hit those speeds in 2005.
PS: The pre-production Chiron Super Sport 300+ hit 304.77 mph showing how far things have come vs the initial 253.81 mph speed of the Veyron.

It is literally a symbol of having more money than you care about. The cost IS the feature. This is just ad copy.
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.
Stating the obvious: hypercars aren't interested in performance-dollars very much.
