Seriously. Most cars are overdimensioned, with toy-cars, excuse me, sports-cars as the ludicrous summum of waaaaay too much horsepowers to be of any practical use. Yet those toys are celebrated as the summum of engineering. This is not only a waste of materials and fuel, more than just loud, it's also responsable for many deaths by accidents and pollution. What use is a car that can drive 400 km/h (Bugatti Veyron, the most ludicrous car ever designed) when 130 km/h is the maximum speed? It is simply a case of "mine is bigger than yours", a dangerous, wasteful pissing match.
