What's quicker than fast?



The new 2007 Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

These stats are staggering:

- 1001 BHP (!!!)
- 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds
- 0 to 200 km/h in 7.3 seconds
- Top speed: 253 mph (407 km/h)

Its engine consists of two V-8 engines joined together and 4 turbochargers in order to produce it's 1001 BHP (that's over 5 times what a new Civic Si produces and double what a BMW M5 would produce). Its 0-100 km/h time beats a Ferrari Enzo hands down (the Enzo only does 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds) and its top speed is a new world record for a production automobile (beating the previous record holder, the Koenigsegg CCR, by 11 mph and the former well-known record holder, the McLaren F1, by 13mph).

...the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive production automobile in the world... for now.

As Jeremy Clarkson would say, "...the speed is biblical!".
