6. Ferrari LaFerrari
While most people would kill to get their hands on any Ferrari, not all of these signature Italian race cars are great. Case in point is the Ferrari LaFerrari, probably the most overhyped among the famous luxury line. After all, the Porsche 918 Spyder has a sophisticated gas-electric hybrid system. The Mclaren P1 has DRS and race mode. What does the LaFerrari have by comparison? Not much, as it turns out. Yes, the LaFerrari has a massive 6.3-liter engine capable of churning out 789 horsepower. But that is not that unique in the world of sporty race cars. In fact, critics feel that the LaFerrari has been largely left behind in recent years by competing models. Plus, despite all its technological advances, the LaFerrari cannot go into full electric mode.
5. Bugatti Veyron
Another overhyped and overrated sports car is the Bugatti Veyron. The original Veyron boasted an eight-liter W-16 engine that had four turbos and produced just under 1000 horsepower. Special edition versions of the Veyron had a power hike to around 1200 horsepower, which is impressive. Yet this Bugatti is something of a one trick pony. Really, the car’s only claim to fame is its speed. It really doesn’t have much else to offer – especially because of its heavy weight and large size. The handling of the Veyron has been described as “atrocious,” and the overall performance is viewed as lacking in many respects. If all you want is a fast car to drive straight, than this is the one for you. If you require anything else, keep looking.
