What's the point of owning such a car in the first place?

It's purely a status symbol. You are never going to be able to fully utilise the cars abilities unless you have your own racetrack.

Status symbol is a damn good reason to own a car. Comfort, luxury and when you drive past the gawking babes it makes you feel GOOOOOD.

It is the third most beautiful car in the world after the maserati birdcage and koenigsegg CCX. And you ask what's the point in owning such a car? For the beautiful simplicity of knowing that if you wanted to, you could drive so fast that only the stig could match you for speed. Which, to me, is one of the most exciting prospects in the motoring world

You own it because you like cars.

There are numerous circuits around the UK.

And of course why not, you are an awful long time dead
