Thanks again to Jimbo for finding this one… The Bugatti Veyron is the most expensive, and fastest, car the world has ever seen.
It has two V8 engines strapped together and turbocharged to produce 1,000 horsepower, and it does 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds. That makes this ultimate supercar as fast as a Formula 1 racecar.
Somehow the fantastic British TV show Top Gear managed to not only get their hands on a Veyron for testing… but convinced Bugatti to allow them to race an airplane from Italy to London!
The show is one hour long, and starts out with a couple of other features, but after about 15 minutes it gets into the Veyron piece. Two notable quotes from Jeremy Clarkson in the video:
I’ve never, ever, ever experienced anything like this.
This car is like nothing I’ve ever driven… nothing I’ve ever been in… nothing I even sketched as an 8 year old.
On with the show…
Do you know though there’s a new kid on the block who has beaten the bugattis top speed record by 4 miles per hour and that is the SCC Ultimate, which IS a production line car so…..
