From what you have been saying here i honestly dont think a veyron will do much for you. You seem to be looking for the ultimate 'raw' driving experience[which would be a factory prepared Ferrari F1 car] but as for the veyron, its very tame..polite even.

Another issue which doesnt seem to be mentioned much is the Turbo Lag. Its not as bad as Gordan Murray made it out to be, but if you are a fan of NA engines then it will appear very poor. Low end grunt is where the turbos are poor and on public roads, low end grunt is everything.

You mentioned the Zonda F. You cant really go wrong. Again, going back to the raw experience that you look for, you can have a 'clubsport' option on the F. Lighter, more power, more fun ultimately. But you already had a Zonda, so what can the F really offer? Only a test drive can answer that

You also want a car that will not depreciate in value. Considering that you are willing to spend a £1m, want a car that will possibly appreciate and look for the insane road experience...i would say a CLK GTR. V12 original with full racing spec Gearbox. A/C as standard

Good luck with your purchase.
