@whizz
Did you see the Road & Track magazine where Gordon Murray was invited to comment on the Veyron in a Guest Editorial role? He
ripped it to shreads! Hahaha !
This is my favourite part:
"The Veyron's design team must be applauded because the starting point was so wrong. Arbitrary targets of 1000 hp and 250 mph and 0-60-mph in under 3 seconds were set at the very beginning of the program. But worse still, a styling model was shown and accepted! This is a bad starting point for any car, but for a high-performance car, it's a disaster."
Did you know that it's 12s per lap
slower than a Porsche Carrera GT at the Nurburgring?

Word on the street is that Bugatti have tweaked the Veyron's 8.0L quad turbo V16 to produce 919kW (1232 bhp) for an upcoming GT model. Top speed is supposed to be over 430kph now!
Price of admission has gone up too, by GBP100,000.
Surely the only place you can do that speed is Bonneville?

As already said, it'll never beat the McLaren F1, for a start the Mclaren used a naturally aspirated engine, so have an even bigger engine to start with and then bolt on 4 turbo's yet not make it much faster is funny. Still I'd have one in a heartbeat, perhaps not in the UK though as it's a bit of a wideboy for our roads.
For me it's got to be the Aston Martin DBS.........

I said the Veryon was too wide for the UK, apparently some guy let his brother drive it.... into a van and tree!
EDIT, actually the car drove into a tree then smashed into an Astra at a junction in standing water, all that tech beating by a puddle
It was on the BBC's website:
