At that price I'll get a red one AND a yellow one.

Veyron is faster though 252 mph on a vmax run (had to beat 250mph and 1000bhp - that was the point)

but they are ?830,000 a pop

I know that was their goal, but I don't recall hearing about any official verification of the top speed. Anybody?

well they limited the car to 252mph, because the tires cannot cope with any faster speed too much pressure or heat build up I can't remember. On the computer runs they acheived a 268 mph or something like that...

Yeah yeah, i heard the same thing from a friend. Even though the tires were custom made specifically for this car (can't remember the manuf) they still didn't sustain the top speed. Even at 252mph the tires start to tear apart leading to explosions or i dunno smth very horrible. I really think that once they sort out the tire problems, i really have to confidence that bugatti is going to be the FASTEST production car ever. Might be even for a VERY VERY long period of time. That's a jewel of a car and that's why it has a suitable price tag. Your paing after all for a car that has 1001 bhp/torque well ALOT (not important anyway ) W16 engined and with 4 turbos on it AND WITH 10 intercoolers. Really it is even if not official the fastes car in production. And they wanted to do a "sporty" version of 1100 bhp.
