A veyron's brake job costs more than a BMW S1000RR motorcycle, which can keep up with that car on most tracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujSvsyY15GE And the last time i checked, you had to ship the car to france to have the work done.
I own a slightly less race-specced bike than the S1000RR, but i take a lot of pleasure in being able to get off the line in under 3 seconds at about an order of magnitude less cost than most cars that can do that.
Stating the obvious: hypercars aren't interested in performance-dollars very much.

PS: The pre-production Chiron Super Sport 300+ hit 304.77 mph showing how far things have come vs the initial 253.81 mph speed of the Veyron.
This is not a 1% car. This is a 0.0001% car.
