250 miles/h = 400 km/h

Now that's some serious Farhvergnugen.

Sweet ride...

[Rutles4Ever]

This thing is an environmental menace. I predict Germany will be destroyed by a hurricane.

Dang! More HP than NASCAR. Of course there are eight extra cylinders, but still. Dang! Anybody got $1.24 mill you can spot me til payday.

[jw777]

and they put only 190hp in my vw passat?

[blueberry12]

That top speed (250mph) is so fast you can't even see the speed limit signs. :-))

[Phantom Lord]

Dang! More HP than NASCAR

But not more than a Top Fuel Dragsters 6,000+ horsepower. And it also only has 8 cylinders.

You'd think that the Bugatti's would be less selfish and share :)

[facedown]

Meep, meep (((((((((==========------------->>>>>>>>>>>

Now that is a VW Bug worth parking next to my 2002 Beetle (BUG), but it still doesn't rise to the level of the schwimwagon.

Nice ride however that flimsy wing on the rear and those louvers on the side of the rear window look like cheap after market bolt ons. For a million + I would expect something a little more refined.

[Disambiguator]

Bugatti Veyron

Did they use some kind of sci-fi random name generator? Like the one that VW is already using?

On a side note, back in the 60's the futuristic artist's conceptions always showed everyone driving cars that looked like this. My car doesn't look like this!

[flashbunny]

finally, something useful from france.

[RebelBanker]

Goes faster then a NASCAR ride too, but it sounds like they need to work on their aero package. Unstable at high speeds is not good when the thing will keep up with an Indy car.

[FreePaul]

Reminds me of the old story about someone complaining to Bugatti about the brakes on his cars. He answered that he made cars to run, not to stop. Now that would probably set the legal vultures to circling every car he made.

[LibWhacker]

Put some wings on that thing and it could fly. :-)

I like the look, too.

And it also only has 8 cylinders.

... that are size of buckets.
