I watched Top Gear and was blown away by the sheer beauty and awed by the colossal engineering genius of the Bugatti Veyron. There's a two-pager in the Daily Mail on it today.

Check this link out for the interior:
http://www.seriouswheels.com/abc/Bugatti-EB-16-4-Veyron-Interior-1280x960.htm

It has a top speed of 258 mph or 400 kmh. And that's been limited !
1001 bhp, or 736kW @ 6000rpm
Its basically two 4.0 litre V8's sharing the same crankshaft
8.0 litre W16 engine. 64 valves
7993cc W17 powerplant with 4 turbochargers and 4 camshafts.
9.0:1 compression ratio
Torque: 1250 Nm @ 2200-5500rpm !
At top speed, the engine sucks in 10000 gallons of air a minute
Its costs £100 to fill the tank up
At top speed your petrol would last 12 minutes
16 radiators

The cost is about £820,000. Its costs VW £5,000,000 to make each car. But getting hold of the million pounds is the easy bit. The choker is that only 300 are going to be made, with most of them heading for excited owners in the middle east. Lucky gits.

If you want to drive anything faster and still stay on the ground, you'll need to head out into the desert and drive something with a rocket on the back of it.

(PS ROFL at Clarkson phoning up an insurance company to "Quote my Happy". After 25 mins they asked him if the Bugatti was a Rover !! They quoted him unhappy)


Ooh you can see the Indicator stalks that cost £7400 each :D That car is just orgasmic..

Just downloaded the episode with bittorrent. Dear God that is some car, cost $5 million to build each one and they sell them at a $4 million loss. Insane, but what a car.

Saw it on Top Gear last night and have been drooling over it all day...and I'm not even a car fan.

I thought it was a joke at first, but fook me what an engineering marvel. It's an absolutely incredible feat...nay, a masterpiece.

Think Jeremy said at top whack (limited) of around 253mph, it would do 100 litres of petrol in 12 minutes.

Ouch.
