Decade-old? Try TWO decade-old. The CTR Yellow Bird hit the streets in 1987.

The big difference here though is that the Veyron is almost impossible to drive on the street. Poor visibility, wide, not very maneuverable, etc. The Ruf, however, can be driven every day.

And that is exactly why I refuse to buy one.

Well, the point was more that the cars have different reasons for existing.

The Veyron is a magnificent engineering tour-de-force. It puts VW/Audi on the map and very clearly states what their engineering staff is capable. As a machine, it's simply incredible. It is built to be put on a pedestal for display as an engineering masterpiece (and it most certainly is an engineering masterpiece).

The Ruf, like all Ruf cars, was built to be an incredibly capable car that is still practical to drive every day. It was built to be driven.

Understanding that different cars have different purposes FTW!
