===Performance & usage===
<tabber>v5.3=
While the Seventh Anniversary update improved the Veyron's acceleration, top speed and nitro efficiency, it still retains its average handling & drifting radius. Its new placement & performance allows it to compete with the Rezvani Beast Alpha, McLaren Mercedes MP4-25, Italdesign Zerouno, Ferrari SF90 Stradale, Lotus Evija and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, but will require an Extra Tank for longer tracks.
The Veyron can be considered as a non-Festival version of the Zerouno, SF90 Stradale, and Corvette ZR1 as all have rapid acceleration and identical top speeds, but the Veyron has the weakest nitro efficiency.
The Veyron was previously one of the only vehicles in the game with an irregular raw top speed-to-nitro ratio, similar to the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione and Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning, which were originally located nearby to the Veyron in the garage. However, the Veyron's new buffed speed no longer has an irregular ratio.
The Veyron is currently one of the cheapest vehicles in the entire game considering its rank and performance, with a price of (Note: This was the Veyron's original price before its buff; currently, this price has not yet increased.) However, this price may change in the future. For now, the Veyron is a must-have for any novice player.
The Veyron occupies the highest-ranked position within Class A of any normally purchasable vehicle. Only the Cadillac 16 Concept, which can be unlocked from Mastery, and is hence available at all times, albeit at a very high price, is ranked higher. Several vehicles that can be unlocked from various special events or exclusive sales are ranked higher than the Veyron within Class A.
|-|v1.0 - v5.2=
While the Veyron has a higher base top speed versus lower-ranked Class S vehicles, it is greatly hampered by its poor acceleration, similar to the Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS and Aston Martin DB9 Coupé. Another disadvantage is its low nitro boost, coupled with horrendous nitro efficiency. It has a maximum total speed of 285.7 mph/460.1 km/h, identical to that of the McLaren 650S GT3.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is considered one of the worst cars in the game due to its disappointing performance, as well as the high rarity of W16 Engine cards, of which it required 36 for its Pro Kits. The Veyron is also lacking in terms of Car Mastery rewards. Due to the availability of better vehicles like the Pagani Huayra BC, Apollo Intensa Emozione, and Mazda RX-8 Special Edition, the Bugatti sees little use in events and Multiplayer. It is required for two races in Career Mode: a Classic race in London, and a Versus race against the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione in Alps Reverse.
The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, which costs less, is often considered a better alternative to the Veyron, and the TVR Sagaris, with upgrades, is able to match the Veyron in terms of total speed (albeit behind by 0.9 mph/1.4 km/h), while having a better nitro efficiency rating and faster acceleration, although it handles worse. In addition, the 650S GT3 has the exact same total speed as the Veyron but has 200% the Veyron's nitro boost, better nitro efficiency, much faster acceleration, and similar overall handling at the expense of stability.
===Multiplayer===
The Veyron is never seen in Multiplayer as it will be placed into races with the Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition, Acura NSX GT3 Evo, and the McLaren MP4/8, of which the Veyron cannot compete with.
