I don't see much to agree with there. The Veyron is an over-the-top production much in the vein of the Royale. There's not a clear lineage between it and past Bugatti race cars because it is not designed to be a race car. It is designed to be the ultimate road car. In the past 7 decades, the notion of what constitutes the ultimate road car has shifted from an ultra-luxury car to a performance car, and the new Bugatti follows that path.
Whether or not the Bugatti Veyron attains its aim is up for debate, and the jury is still out in some respects until it is in actual production. Another car built to be the ultimate road car, the McLaren F1, took a vastly different approach with its light weight, central seating design, and so forth.
