In 20 seconds — about the time it takes a fast reader to get through this paragraph — it reaches 200 mph. In 53 mind-blowing seconds, the Veyron reaches its marquee speed: 253 mph.Big deal. Where can you legally drive this thing?

Graphic? I expected to see body parts, squished brains and blood. But it only shows the smashed up cars after they were carted away. Not very graphic. But thanks for the warning, I guess...

Lord have mercy. Is this thing actually street legal in the U.S.?

How are the brakes? Brakes, you wanna know about brakes? Well here ya go!
The Veyron has a lot of other tricks up its carbon-fiber sleeve. When the brakes are activated at high speed, the rear wing tilts to 70 degrees, creating what is effectively an air brake — should the 15-inch carbon-ceramic disc brakes not prove to be enough. Here is a fun fact: In a panic stop from 253 mph, the Veyron comes to a halt in less than 10 seconds — hard enough to pull the sunglasses off your face

The braking system is similar to the Soyuz: a set of parachutes and retro-rockets.
